Remember when the US Government and private Western organizations broadcast news and information into the highly ideological and political states pf the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe, to advise their citizens about the real workings of their corrupt government - news which would never be told by the state-controlled propaganda channels in those countries?
Now the situation has reversed itself.
These days, there are so many news stories we would not know anything about if it wasn't for the UK news sources, and some other external sources. The mainstream media in America is essentially worthless, and if they aren't blocking a news story completely, they are lying about it and despicably distorting it, to achieve their leftist ends.
