It basically showed how open societies are, well, closed, such as Nazi Germany, and how many of the things happening today (and this is just a further illustration of it), point to the idea that our societies are being closed and freedom as we know it could become a thing of the past.<BR/><BR/>Our 'mainstream' media has been so awful for the past few decades, things could get really bad should we no longer be able to criticize the media.
