“Americans are not being told the truth, nor are they being informed and given detailed information. It is almost like we live in the old Soviet Union with controlled radio/TV. OR, on the other hand, does the average Joe in the US care, or are they watching “Dancing with the Stars” and dont want to be interrupted, so media just caters to what they want? It is kind of a chicken and egg argument I guess.”
Back in the late 70’s They taught us in school about the Iron curtain and Russian propaganda. I Tuned into radio Pravda on Shortwave a few times and listened to there news. The propaganda was so blatantly obvious and overwhelming. For the last several years I have watched as the news here became even more of a propaganda show than the Radio Pravda that I listened to so many years ago as a child. Sad, but true.
Back in the 60’s I received a shortwave radio as a gift. It was great I used to listen to Radio Moscow. It was so funny, especially the show Moscow Mail Bag. They would read all these letters from disgruntled American’s. It was a hoot, LOL.
