This move is the classic hallmark of how a government propagandizes its citizens: ensuring that they hear only those views of which the government approves.

I think the current climate here in the U.S. and in recent years elsewhere has really exposed this sort of thing. The problem I see, however, is that some people -very smart people, in fact- refuse to see it, do anything about it; they’re happy in their current state and don’t want to rock their boats. So they shake their heads over current affairs, sip their Trader Joe’s wine, listen to the NPR stories and all is well.
