    The parallels with other regimes are exaggerated. The greater and more pronounced parallel appears to be between domestic media and international media... One appears to parrot the other.

    Denial will get you absolutely nowhere. You will not be able to escape truth. Deny it, yes. Doubt it, yes - but in the end you will have to live with what comes of it.

    Exaggerated somewhat perhaps however, much like what's happened in the past several months, this is unprecedented, not a reflection of checked power, and frankly terrifying that some may dismiss it as simply 'shaking things up'.
