Things haven't changed all that much, have they?

Personally, regarding the news media, I do feel things are worse today than they were back in the 40's and 50's during the McCarthy Witch hunt.  I say this because there are far more Pied Pipers among us blowing smoke up our noses.

Back then the network newscasters at least made an effort not to call for the firing squad. 

Today they openly call for murder.  I've heard snickering over the potential killing of our president, and now we want to hunt Julian Assange down and hire some sleezy hit man to do him in. 

And what is this about trying to charge him with Treason?  I didn't know that he'd become a citizen.  Are our leaders mad?  Or are they telling us that we now consider the entire planet the property of the American Empire.
