In the old spirit of “It Can’t Happen Here”, I could have imagined — years ago — some sort of scenario where the government declared martial law, locked down the free press, took over the media, and just blared government propaganda at people 24/7. That’s the sort of nightmare scenario that could happen in other countries, and (heaven forbid!) could even happen in the good old USA.
But I never imagined that thousands of media outlets would just sort of independently decide to lie to the public, turn themselves into propaganda outlets for an illegitimate government and promote tyranny and celebrate the loss of our basic freedoms.
Just didn’t see that one coming, I have to say.
CIA is the media...
