[On a 1940s Cold War propaganda cartoon]
This is not propaganda. CNN and MSNBC are propaganda. That pink guy stands for almost all leftists. People were more knowledgeable back in the 1950 then they are now!?

Well, I must admit that many Americans (including here) do seem somewhat naive towards the left-wing. Of course, this is in large parts due to various far-right factions warping the political terminology so that the center is already considered hardcore ultra-communism.
The left wing warned you about Trump.
Of course Fox News is the only source of unvarnished truth. Back in the 50's people took for granted viewpoints that are today are considered bizarre by by anyone who is not an extreme conservative. My late father was a product of those times. He was an Attorney At Law and thus well educated, but in some ways he was like Archie Bunker with two college degrees. BTW I miss him very much.
More knowledgeable in the fifties? We-e-lllll... We listened to Lowell Thomas, for a fifteen-minute broadcast that covered the entire world. No all-news, all-day stations on either TV or radio. No internet. No mega-moguls of broadcasting feeding their own preferred party line on dozens of local stations.
On the other hand, we didn't have FOX back then, so the smaller amount of information we got was more likely to be true.
That must be why MSNBC is dominating both CNN & especially Fox Noise in the ratings, which we all know is the only thing that any of the suits at any network is interested in. Fox Noise has lost some of its most famous mouths, ol' Roger is mercifully, wonderfully dead & its biggest demographic is about 72 years old with the blood pressure of the Deepwater Horizon. MSNBC, while far from perfect, is much more accurate in what they report, which is not propaganda.
Yesterday's mainstream is tomorrow's far-right lunacy. In the future, conservatives are going to consider same-sex marriages normal and natural because they're two humans, but rail against a woman, a robot, and a hyperintelligent chimp trying to get a three-way marriage.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
