[Air-l] capitalism always lies ?

[Barry Wellman]

I learn something new from this list all the time.

Reading the digest today, I learned that Capitalism is basically
responsible for media lies.

Which I guess excludes socialism, fascism, theocracies, authorianism, etc.

Guess that's why the USSR called its leading newspaper The Truth.

And why when I was at a conference in Moscow in 1982, I was handed -- on
arrival -- the "final report" of the conference. We already knew the truth
before meeting.

And so it goes.

My only comment on this subject. All flames will be ignored.
