People have ears that can be swayed by propaganda without having the eyes to see the reality in the past. Now, people can see the reality of visiting China themselves and have a brain to think rationally who is telling lies and who is being lied to.
Why do so many people in Singapore have a negative image of the States Times and Channel News America? These two are not the only source of information in this internet age, unlike in the past. Moreover, by preventing alternative news sources from having alternative voices, people knew what they are missing and will strive to be even more relentless to find out what they are lacking.
You cannot keep an honest man away from the truth, if what is presented to him is distorted, given a touch of sanitization or using plain selective reporting methods. Everyone knows that journalism already lost its credibility long ago, with the powers that be dictating the direction of what to avoid and what to report.
