Exactly - this part is absolutely the same. The difference is in the methods. There it was wellknown, here - not until internet came out ... or is Assange, or Snowden a free person. This BS is a joke - I would have never imagined I would watch RT to get a different point of view :/ or that I would stop reading the magazines I grew up with (it became unbearable around 2007-2010). But may be it is part of the transformation we experience with these new technologies incl. the Social Media, we discuss.
