Well then, here's something even funnier: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yFgSRM1ANjU > Around a quarter of a century this film was often shown by public > service broadcasting.

Well, in Germany there might be Total Freedom of the Press, which I doubt, but that's certainly not the absolute case in many other Western countries. A recent case in point: after hitting a couple, Macron's protégé and security guard Benalla gets a clean shave taking off his long beard that looks too "islamic", gets a pair of glasses that makes him look intellectual, and gets on prime TV explaining how hard his life was. How sorry people should feel about this poor guy hitting other people around. To consider that it is a "conspiracy" to think that political figures are not tailor-made for medias, as well as related issues, to see it as a "governing coalition" is somewhat funny though. _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
