Point taken, it does look like a train of thought. It does seem like I'm disagreeing with my self! Technically I probably am. Let me start over: * False captioning (FC) is easy to spot if you compare sources. * Clumsy Photoshoping is t

While biased, it is not unfair; There was only a limited number of Soviet publications and they were official official organs of either the Communist party or the government (obviously 100% communist party members). So it was that simple. O

I remember in that in high school when I got writing assignments that I didn't like, I made my life easier by implying that the author is just a communist. Since people in the media were doing exactly that all the time and I did had a

The point of jails should be to isolate dangerous people from potential victims, not punish anyone. I can imagine no reason to isolate a person to the point of literally locking him or her in a cage. At least provide TV or radio, there is l
