All Western governments need to remember the old Soviet adage about State-sponsored News. There used to be two Soviet news outlets: "Vremya" ("The News") and "Pravda" ("The Truth"). The saying was: "Na Vremya ne Pravda, na Pravda ne Vremya". In the News there is no Truth and in the Truth there is no News.

Those with dictatorial tendencies often forget that sooner or later the people figure this out, and that "We are the one source of truth" is a very pernicious lie.
