DEAR SIT_WALK: Eeeee-not quite. Stalin and those who followed him had COMPLETE control of the media and all information ( so much so that, when in the 1970s Middle East terrorists kidnapped a Soviet diplomat and held him for ransom, the Soviet Union could do what neither the United States or other Ally nations could. They simply kidnapped one of the kidnappers and delivered him in a crate to the ringleader`s front door: cut to pieces with a chain saw and a little note propped on his lips stating this would continue to happen, the ringleader being the last, until they got their diplomat back, alive and unharmed. The Soviets had their diplomat back in under two hours!) In contrast, Trump can`t even take a crap without it being front page news - if, for no other reason, Dandy Donald TWEETS about it! He`s the most `in-plain-view` politician there ever was! For better or for worse, everybody knows everything (TMI!!!!!)
