These people are absolutely brutal. I wonder if they bothered to read Solzhenitsyn to find out about the real reality of “freedom versus control of the network”.
I also recall reading an interview with Lech Walesa and when asked about why the Soviet Bloc collapsed, he simply pointed to a television set (in explaining one important reason) and said how that changed a great many things. People behind the Iron Curtain got to watch Western TV shows from West Germany and saw the lifestyles there. In the world that these two authors suggest, there should have been Stalinesque controls on TV as well so as to help preserve the Berlin Wall and the communist governments east of that barrier.
There is nothing wrong with your television set. Do not attempt to adjust the picture. We are controlling transmission. If we wish to make it louder, we will bring up the volume.
