"Only a gullible American public would go on, revolution after revolution, decade after decade, swallowing what Lippmann and Merz nailed as "double think" long before George Orwell coined the word. Even if a dying or already dead revolutionary government some how managed to spread feeble propaganda beyond its own borders, what revolution-hungry people anywhere on earth would buy into and emulate a widely heralded and demonstrable failure? ... With few exceptions, the American people for years after a revolution receive totally negative journalistic images, with virtually nothing to suggest a return to normalcy in the lives of most of the people."
Quote excerpted from Prolonged Surrender to Reality: U.S. Media Coverage Of Revolutions, 1985
