The old soviet times... the sunny leaders told where to go and people went there.. was it siberia, coal mine, war or another town.
People just had to do what was told..
Kind of makes even your worst media propaganda hallucinate of yours sound like a dream compared to old soviet style.
At least people are with the goverment then and not being pushed around regardless of their opinion.
So it's all merry life.
You really should learn one thing: western media doesnt manipulate people, its free press, but it's the ones who manipulates media.
Most media goes with the highlight news.
Whats more highlight than live speech from Mr. Bush talking crap every now and then and midst of it doing wars for the higlhight news and other pulls to keep the citizens attention there where wanted, instead of those issues where you don't want citizens to get their attention to.
..and the masses are predictable sheeps.
So if you want to congratule something for manipulating, you should look at the Bush administration, whoever in there is yanking the chains.
Bush Jr. is probably worst presidents USA has had, but he seems to have the best people to make up his status... the best manipulators you can get as the US president, something the others didnt have.
The way his lil' helpers have manipulated masses of USA, is admirable, but meanwhile also stinks badly.
