Do you think it was any different back then?

Yes. Definitely yes.

There were some pockets of propaganda, especially during election times, but it's nothing compared to the continuous avalanche that exists today.

WAY back in the day, news was fucking great. Especially in small towns. Stories would be like “Man takes bicycle trip 80 miles down to Townsville!”
