    Those poor bastards had no idea that by the time this would became reality, most of the results on screen would be junk they don’t care to read. News coverage is sold to the highest bidder.

        Yes. Definitely yes.

        There were some pockets of propaganda, especially during election times, but it’s nothing compared to the continuous avalanche that exists today.

          WAY back in the day, news was fucking great. Especially in small towns. Stories would be like “Man takes bicycle trip 80 miles down to Townsville!”
