4. They Think if They Just Say It, It Will Be True
I suspected that this was going to be a fraud, and it was. This is the next step along the path of corporations, who now own everything, pretending that the media is the same as it ever was, and is a "presentation of reality" as before. I wonder whether or not there were any "votes counted" (every time now), or if the Reagan shit was already produced and ready to play before the charade even started. I remember a early commercial for this thing, showing a picture of Bush next to Abraham Lincoln, and all you can do is let out a derisive laugh at the whole thing.

Someday, soon, people will start to realize that there is no public connection anymore with this media industry, and that it is all controlled, invented propaganda, and an appearance of "spontaneity" and "a real, populated world, of all our friends and neighbors," when all it is now is mind-controlling, amnesia-producing propaganda, that comes at us from the boardrooms of Big Business, owning everything. We can't even get an answer out, anymore.
