1 is unquestionably correct, it's how private media operates. As for 2, the idea of a "model communist state" is flawed thinking. Socialist countries like the USSR are not necessarily "models," each has their own problems that come from existing in the real world, and not our heads. I support socialism, and the workers that make the world. The historical USSR fell into that category, and now the mantle is held by the PRC, DPRK, Vietnam, Laos, and Cuba.
I can only very simply state that I vehemently disagree on both points.
That's not entirely true. You could try to present an argument for why. If that's not possible, perhaps you should do some more digging on your own? Maybe expand your understanding?
what are these personal experiences? Can you go into more detail?
Can you give an example of a claim that I made that cannot be substantiated? Secondly, can you give an example of a claim I made that contradicts your personal experiences?
The claims are easily verifiable on US internet, from msm, without using a VPN.
Lmfao.
It's definitely immensely difficult to come to terms with the fact that privately owned media controls most of what most people see and know about the rest of the world. You could call it a conspiracy
