RE: "LA is burning"

There's an old cold war joke that goes like this:
A KGB agent and a CIA agent meet up for drinks off the clock, and after a few drinks they start to talk shop.
The CIA agent extols the strength of the Party's propaganda, "All your citizens believe the propaganda! it's incredible! So little dissent."

The KGB responds, "No my friend no, we are good at what we do, but you are the true masters of the art. No one at all questions your propaganda!"

To which the CIA agent says, confused, "What do you mean? We don't have propaganda?"
