Wow... If only the state controlled press in the United States was just as vigilant.

It's much more than 'state controlled' FRiend, the media in this country, with few exceptions have happily put on the apparel of a whore, with a great big ol' 0bama button on the lapel and a name tag that reads 'Official 0bamunist Ministry of Information Mouthpiece'

...and they plead, whine and sob to the White House pimps, "We ain't holdin' back on ya, we givin' ya everything we gots, pleaaaase don't beats us, we workin' it fo ya, just like Massa 0bama sez we gots to do, we all gots the EIF memo!"

In the old days of the Soviet Union, the Politburo only *dreamed* of such slavish obedience from Pravda, Tass and Izvestia.

They aren't "controlled" by the state, they are voluntarily subservient to it.
