| 2. The difference between the right wing propaganda |
|
and the left wing propaganda is that when the "lasting value of evidence" disproves the left wing propaganda, the right wing propaganda machine (AKA, the MSM) creates a huge "headline ... assertion" about it whereas when it happens to right wing propaganda, its relegated to a blurb on the bottom of the 12th page of the 2nd section :)
