I will repeat yet again. I forward articles that are intended to inform and often to inform readers of opinions that I disagree with but others will believe.

Really surprised you forwarded it on.. I actually find it very offensive and fascist. For example, the 1930's propaganda machine was effective because it was state controlled media, squashing (almost) all dissent very effectively. Nazi access to mass media (beyond printing presses) wasnt really available until they had become the state. Not because of unregulated, open mass communications. That is horse dung and incredibly ignorant.
