That said, when you have got a substantial bunch of ignorant morons that sustain despots in power, you know the light of day is as removed from reality as humanly imaginable.
Heard this on a BBC comedy:
"Politician A: I've got the perfect solution to your problem. Although it is a lie, if you repeat it often enough, the people will believe you
Politician B: No way!
Politician A: If you repeat it often enough, the people will believe you
Politician B: This can't work
Politician A: If you repeat it often enough, the people will believe you
Politician B: Impossible!
Politician A: If you repeat it often enough, the people will believe you
Politician B: Really???"
That is what Straits Times is doing to Singaporeans, treating us like mushrooms --- feed us shit and keep us in the dark.
