my guess: both. They believe their own propaganda half the time. Or the left hand tells lies (or half-truths or quarter-truths or...) to the right hand, who believes them and then tells them back to the left hand, who sees them as confirmation that they were right. Of course, there's a soupcon or two of wishful thinking keeping the process going. -- Jim Devine / "Catch a man a fish, and you can sell it to him.
