I have noticed something else: Our networks (NBC, ABC, CBS etc) will interview a politician, on camera, and then immediately afterwards tell the viewers/listeners WHAT HE SAID! I am not talking about commentary, extrapolations, consequences, comparison with other opinions, commantaries about the truth or falsehood of what whas said, no, the TVnetspeakcritter will say "Well, we heard President Ougadougou Cleptocrate say that....." even when the interviewee spoke English, or was dubbed. Bye the way, for reasons related to those in the original mail, I much prefer subtitles to dubbing, as the speaker's voice gives away many clues, even if I am unfamiliar with his language.

See, we have to work on demystifying all the "news" we are getting and NEVER TAKE ANY at face value. Did you noticed often on the news they show a "talking head" with the sound off and CBC own comentator narates what has been said. This is to train us to get used to it (communist regime trick I've seen so often) so they can put anything to anybody's mouth when needed - and sometimes they do already. Nothing new under the Sun.
