Confusion

An 86 year-old lady recently complained to Frit about the outcome of a local election. Frit was delighted to be able to point out she was misinformed, her own party had won, and won by miles. At her advanced age she had been unable to see through all the media blather. The wonderful people who control the news in the name of freedom and impartiality, the ruling class, had succeeded in misleading her (and no doubt huge numbers like her) into believing the opposite of the truth. Such is their power.

Of course, it goes without saying that the party that had actually won was not the party of the ruling class's choice.
