A quarter of a century has passed and we can see the true face of Western journalism. It turns out that all of the charges that they set up against their Soviet opponents, with can be attributed to themselves with good reason. The West, in fact, turned to the Soviet Union of the worst of his sample. Falsification and manipulation of the western media reflected the unscrupulousness and cynicism of big politics of the West. The myth of the speech freedom does not withstand any criticism even among themselves and Western Political Science analysts and journalists.
