I keep hearing that in my country we have over 400 cases of AIDS and that the numbers are growing, but it's not true. We have about 18 cases. I told her that's exactly what I mean.

Propaganda is a revolutionary-political concept.
People's enlightenment limits itself to informing the people in a more factual way about existing necessities and questions. A colleague of mine overheard a reporter sighing and rolling her eyes in exasperation. Special contributor Celia Farber covered AIDS for Spin for a decade.
