"Naomi Wolf's 'The End of America' has a discussion about
how the press gets effectively undermined by propaganda efforts
during takeovers of democracies. One point is valid here: Its not
necessary for those opposing the truth to get everyone to believe
their fabrications 100%. Its only necessary to sow confusion to
the point that the public doesn't know what to believe and thus
begins to distrust all sources of information, including those
presenting the truth." -- Sean McCorkle,
