I guess someone is keeping count, but do you think the MSM would allow it, which is where it ought to be?
Just came across this, which may be the type of spin we see more of:
The Seven Wonders of the German Democratic Republic [1970’s]:
1. No one is unemployed.
2. Though no one is unemployed, only half of the people actually do any work.
3. Though only half of the people do any work, production targets are constantly exceeded.
4. Though production targets are constantly exceeded, shortages are an everyday occurrence.
5. Though shortages are an everyday occurrence, people still have full larders.
6. Though people have full larders, the majority of the population is whinging.
7. Though the majority of the population is whinging, the Communist Party always gets 99% of the votes.
