I also keep hearing that often enough. The GDR TV also fought its fight against Western German TV, and today and maybe even back then it was seen as dull state propaganda, like "yeah, all things need to be bad in the West..."
Even though it was also done with taking original pieces out of West German TV.

Today you experience a similar phenomenon with the rise of such media networks like RT or Sputniknews for the German market.
"All just Russian state propaganda what they tell", this is the mantra Western infiltrated media keeps repeating about it here.
But, strangely enough, I find, and others also seem to find, their version seems to be closer to the truth than what is told about subjects through the mainstrem media.
For example, you can see that pretty much by the example of the Syria war. In the beginning, it's all been lies, conspiracy theories or enemy propaganda that there are terrorist going round in that country and that they occupy the towns and kill the people.
What is the common version even in Western media now? "Terrorists going round in Syria, occupying towns and killing people." Even the accusations of use of chemical weaponry slowly turn towards the terrorists in Western media. How credible does it now seem, Obamas famous "red line", the shelling of Ghouta with chemical weapons that allegedly was executed by Syrian forces?
You can see that on that nobody talks about that even anymore in Western press.

Just to say: This time it looks like the press from the East which tells a lot about the lies in the West will win the fight. Because truth first is on their side and second, the West is not able to keep people on its side anymore with its lies that more and more people can see straight through.
But that may be a fight that takes pretty long and comes in small steps...

I see that on how you run against walls in the mainstream if it's about lifestyle ideas - that you can also do something differently and still be what you claim to be.
The forces of that currently are also still very small compared to the bullhorns that always get a voice to spread their ideas.
