To see first hand examples of what Johnstone is talking about, watch this valuable discussion with Aaron Maté on Taibbi and Halper's "Useful Idiots" webcast. Go to 27:15 into video to see the discussion on a host of issues, mostly in the untouchable area of foreign policy, to understand how factual info about the U.S.'s role in the world is systematically narrowed in media to keep citizens in the dark. It's implicit in the discussion, so take a macro perspective. https://youtu.be/yGy6c3SHWf0

"If you lived over there you wouldn't be allowed to criticize the government the way you criticize western governments!" Anyone taking this diversion-denial viewpoint needs to quite simply extract their head from their rectum. In Italiano, per favore estraete la vostra testa dal culo.
