If ONLY we could get to a Soviet-citizen level of cynicism and awareness! In Russian Pravda = News and Izvestia = Truth (or other way round) For decades the going joke in the USSR was "There's no news in "The Truth" and no truth in "The News"
At least CNN viewership is plummeting - it's a start.

Yep. Western propaganda is so much better because it hides itself under the cloak of "private" companies. Plus our material conditions - at least for the moment - are so much better than in the Soviet Union that people are relatively content and don't question the propaganda. #BreadAndCircuses works!
I had hoped that the living memory of totalitarianism and the fake media during communist times would "innoculate" eastern Europeans from the Covid hysteria. Given that some eastern European countries do have relatively lower jab rates, maybe that is the case to a degree. But then, other formerly communist countries like Latvia and Slovakia are going nuts with their lockdowns and other rules.
