Internet full of photos of Natl Guard sleeping in cold, hard concrete floor of parking garage when DC has empty hotels. But front page of LA Times has big color photo of troops sightseeing in Capitol, looking at paintings. Just like Pravda, Soviet paper. Only good news about government.

Mark Twain said it: “If you don’t read the papers you’re uninformed. If you read them you’re misinformed.” But now it’s worse. We have frank propaganda outlets for the government. And few admit what is right before their eyes.

Interestingly, Pravda means truth in Russian. It was expected that Soviet dictators claimed power to define truth. It is unexpected, to say the least, that media in the USA claim the same power. Unexpected and utterly disgraceful.
