Yes, it is worse...because the communist infiltration started in our public schools under the guise of “Progressive Education” and Dewey instituted it before television. Their complete control of ideas and press and children’s thinking was proven with the total destruction of the reputation of the WWII hero, Tailgunner Joe, in the early 50’s. McCarthy was the example of what happens to the career of politicians or anyone in power when they dare criticize communism.
