Western propaganda has become an art-form, and for the unsuspecting audience, it is invisible. If you decide to be critical though, you will immediately see how thinly-veiled the propaganda is. Some of you might have heard about the recent high-speed rail crash in Spain, killing 69 people according to the latest count. The weird coincidence is that Chinas Wenzhou crash was exactly 2 years ago. Below are two articles from CNN reporting on the crashes. On the right column is of Chinas crash two years ago and on the left column is a recent coverage for Spains. Notice how the Spain article is about the accident while the article on China is a condemnation of Chinas HRS and governance. CNN can find tons of criticism and dissatisfaction on Spains Internet too if it wants. Yes, right now. CNN can find critical things to write about the Spanish government: for example, Spain woefully under-funds its infrastructure. These are CNNs explicit choices to make. See the glaring difference in the articles as a result of the choices CNN made. Welcome to free press.
