19. Sadly, I tend to agree. However...
we have to accept that some of this is voluntariyl performed because of the growing laziness and weakness of the the remnanats of the Formerly Free Press (with a few notable exceptions) and the Party-Loyal Right-Wing Sub-Media's existance (among other things) as a toll to beat, bludgeon, and bully the Corporate "Free" Press into "behaving themselves".

"Gleitschlaung" or "bringing into line" is what the Nazis called it when they did it to THEIR Free Press (they also used a Party-Loyal Sub-Media which programmed it's audience to receive information ONLY from Party-Approved sources like Faux).

We are being set up. But I think you would be amazed at how little actual deception and coercion is required to do this.

The beauty of this New Totalitarianism (at least in it's early stage) is that everyone already knows what to do. A wink and nod is more than enough...most don't even required that, but just to follow the trendsetters, the herd.
