Quote:He also points out that the people fostering these anti-Fen feelings are the government, which does not speak for all people, and that isolating the general populace only does the government's job for them.
Not to get all Noam Chomsky, but I think America is very much a media-driven culture, where public discourse (and public policy following after it) is influenced by what the culture sees on TV, hears on radio, reads in the newspapers or the blogs. In order to understand American policy towards Fenspace, we have to understand how the media portrays Fenspace.
So, how does the media portray Fenspace?
