2. At what point should we have started suspecting we were being duped?
Somewhere in time we actually started being handed the "absolutely NOT news," and learned our actual expected information is going to be blocked.

Do we have a dependable alternative? Can we hope that the Bush administration won't be able to sabotage our internet access to news from outside the country?

We have only recently learned that the gummint started actively shooting bogus news stories into mainstream media during Reagan's time, via Otto Reich, hard at work ("It's hard work") in the Office of Public Diplomacy, as he created completely false stories and planted them all over the world, along with bogus letters to the editors, creating a deep, complex lie to befuddle Americans.

So glad the doctor has spoken out on this. Hope he reaches a lot of ears before they destroy his reputation. If they don't try, it will be the first time.
