Things that would have seemed preposterous 10-15 years ago, are being talked about, or have happened, without much outcry...and if there is, its become so partisan, it not the acct anymore, only who it is coming from. That's in countries with Freedom of the Press...for countries without that, I would assume that the brainwashing is more pervasive.
