Well, I continue to consider commies and MSM one and the same. I wish somebody would verify or debunk something I read 40+ years ago; that the Bolshevik Revolution was achieved by the revolutionary-controlled media, which amounted to 2% of the population. I think our media dreams today of repeating that success, but they are pretty stupid if they think they would end up in the ruling 2%.
"...that the Bolshevik Revolution was achieved by the revolutionary-controlled media, which amounted to 2% of the population. I think our media dreams today of repeating that success, but they are pretty stupid if they think they would end up in the ruling 2%."
Very astute point you make. They'll reside in that select 2% briefly until their very own Stalin comes along and massacres every last one of them. They'll go to their doom utterly perplexed at how this could happen to such good and orthodox revolutionaries like themselves.
I recommend Koestler's "Darkness at Noon" and Orwell's "Animal Farm" for a look at the rewards that were reaped by the true believers. Unfortunately, our liberals/communists cannot understand the cosmic irony of those books.
Hence, they are called "useful idiots"!
