Please. The MSM has been the functional mouthpiece of progressive government for more than a generation.
You need look no further than the coverage of the Zimmerman trial to see sustained government propaganda in action.
Raised during the Cold War, I once counted myself lucky that I lived in a country with a free press. A military stint including time at the NSA, of all places, disabused me of that notion.
The media lies mostly by omission. By far the biggest lies it told during the Zimmerman trial is what it didn’t report. That’s their MO.
Any ban on government propaganda beamed towards Americans has been nothing more than window dressing, at best. The fourth estate is a fifth column.

That’s the key to social engineering. Control the conversation and you control the mind. FReepers only debate what is written in the articles, not facts that are omitted from them.
