Are you proud of banning media being impossible in the US?

CONSPIRACY THEORY TIME!

The US and smaller contained authorities are actually much more capable of banning things behind a veil of 'openness' and non-censorship. If you don't think that anything is being banned or any information suppressed, you're more apt to believe that what you're being given is genuine. This is a more underhanded, conniving way of censoring information, but also more successful because of the the nature of the consumers, taught to pride themselves in not being subjected to what they're being subjected to.

The posited "conspiracy" has echoes of a redux of Marcusian paranoia actually. False consciousness here, there and everywhere. The sans culottes know not what they do, as mere pawns to the system. The thing is, is that I think certain cosseted elites actually believe this cant.

I, by no means, think what I stated is true - most of the time. It's also nothing exclusive to liberal democracies. In fact, I believe it's quite the opposite. It's nearly impossible in our society to completely cover up information. Administrations change so rapidly from a historical context that things remain rather porous, even if leaks don't seep immediately.
