That's the impression I have. I guess I should be happy the US isn't there yet. Still, over my lifetime things have changed culturally. Orwell and Huxley were taught and revered in school. There was a black and white cold war distinction between the Soviet Union and the west. It seemed like the #1 criticism against the USSR was its propaganda and censorship. Pravda was criticized as a joke. Now most of our MSM is a joke.
