2014 will be remembered as the year when propaganda completely detached itself from reality.

• The president viewed an election catastrophe and massive vote of no confidence, as a win
• NOAA determined that it was the hottest year ever, despite all evidence to the contrary
• The civil rights movement decided to make Ferguson their poster child and a criminal thug their hero, in defiance of all evidence.

We have arrived at a spectacular state of propaganda which makes the Soviet government look legitimate – powered by the White House and cable news.
