And found this little tid bit...

"The important thing to note is that,-unlike Nazi Germany where the Nazis were able to use government powers to take over all news organizations in Germany and basically turn every source of information into a Party mouthpiece-the US has robust free speech and private property protection laws that kept the propaganda machine limited to the existing Conservative bubble, rather than allowing it to be forcibly extended over the entire nation.

This entire episode has been both a huge flashing sign of the dangers of free speech, and the greatest argument in favor of it."

The lack of self-awareness is just stunning.
