Re: Pravda

Read this, too (firedoglake commentary).

And this (Retd Col Lang).

And Glenn Greenwald.

These all represent the view point that the job of the media is to inform and that the government ought not to psy-ops its own citizens. There is a perspective that there is a "greater good" that is served in all of the propaganda, but finding and quantifying that "greater good" is impossible, and I'm not giving that perspective any time here.
