Propaganda in the West is carried out by experts who have had the best training in the world -- in the field of advertizing -- and have mastered the techniques with exceptional proficiency ... Yours are subtle and persuasive; ours are crude and obvious ... I think that the fundamental difference between our worlds, with respect to propaganda, is quite simple. You tend to believe yours ... and we tend to disbelieve ours. " (a Soviet correspondent based five years in the U.S.)

"In a dictatorship, censorship in used; in a democracy, manipulation." (Ryszard Kapuscinski, journalist)
