Of course, we knew that the official reports were sketchy, if not falsified. But, in terms of information theory, this is precisely where the problem lay: How were we to reconstruct reality from incomplete or false reports? It is not true that virtually all news in a totalitarian state is false.

One can adjust for the political slanting of the news, but there is virtually no way to fill in the omissions.

Democracy, taken in its narrower, purely political, sense, suffers from the fact that those in economic and political power possess the means for molding public opinion to serve their own class interests.

Everything depends ultimately on the political and moral qualities of the citizenry.
Albert Einstein
