    Hey, remind me what was going on in 1988 in the propaganda-free bastion of democracy that is the USA? Oh right, it was when the presidential election reached a turning point due to the Revolving Door and Willie Horton ads, which used racist dogwhistles to imply that Dukakis was "soft on crime". Also, the person who created those ads (Roger Ailes) would later become the CEO of Fox News.
