And on the subject of "agitprop:"
Something interesting has happened in the past few years. Remember the old Soviet Union, and Pravda? The average Soviet citizen read Pravda, and knew damn well that reality was no part of it. They were quiet about it, but basically ignored the news service, except insofar as they could glean things like the political standings of various figures from the stories. In one ear and out the other.
And then there was samizdat.
In recent years in this country, I've noticed that the old crap, including the mainstream media as the source of what you should think, wasn't working any more. Memes pushed by the media and politicians aren't resonating in the polls as much as they used to. People can easily route around it now. A lot of TV ratings are reflecting this, too.
I see this as a good sign no matter who's in power.
