It somehow seems different when it has been discussed as the brainwashing of citizens by Putin, or the restriction of access to the internet by Xi or Khamenei, doesn’t it?

Honestly, it feels strange and a little unsettling to see tactics I’ve always associated with authoritarian regimes happening in my own backyard.

The US audience didn't hear the boos for Vance, because they were filtered out entirely… Does it feel like a being lied to?

The idea that a crowd’s reaction could be filtered out, like it never happened, makes me question how much of what I see is actually real.
