spoken like a man who chooses to be blind politically; give up
freedom for convenience.
managed media? im sure it sounds better than state run media.

nothing that is run by a govt is good because it can be used as a
propaganda machine, mis-present facts and figures, mislead the
masses and the like.
i quote an example. when the US forces in Iraq were encircling
Baghdad, ready for the final strike, our dear comedian aka ex Iraq
Information Minister aka Baghdad Bob was conjuring some really
funny statements that lives on until even today.
I can say, and I am responsible for what I am saying, that they
have started to commit suicide under the walls of Baghdad. We will
encourage them to commit more suicides quickly.

I told you yesterday that the shock has backfired on them. Indeed,
they are shocked because of what they have seen. No one received
them with roses. They were received with bombs, shoes and bullets.
Now, the game has been exposed. Awe will backfire on them. This is
the boa snake. We will extend it further and cut it in the
appropriate way.
I would like to clarify a simple fact here: How can you lay siege
to a whole country? Who is really under siege now? Baghdad cannot
be besieged. Al-Nasiriyah cannot be besieged. Basra cannot be
besieged.
My feelings - as usual - we will slaughter them all.
and a many more.
get my point?
