A thought with relevance to the previous post

I want to share a thought with relevance to the previous post titled: How was that opinion formed?. If the United States ever did become a socialist country, the media outlets who are exposing the truth probably won't be shut down because it would be too evident that they were the truthful sources and this would cause reactions. What would perhaps really happen is that government will take over and filter what those sources are saying, and will say, so that one gets distorted information based on half-truths. Things are never simple black and white.
