And also don't forget that we have total freedom of speech and there is no propaganda in the media like other countries. Freedom comes at a price, and the more money you have the freer you are.

RE: [OT] America Has First Flight (?)
no propaganda in the media.WOW what an understatement. our media has more propaganda than I'd like. How many times have the news only reported one side of a story? or left out a lot of important facts? - That's propaganda. However, at least we have access to multiple views of propagranda thus allowing us to draw small truths from each, and hopefully building the actual events from these. Now...the propaganda isn't propaganda in regards to government controlled, but it is fueled by money.
