When hypocrisy becomes the primary tool of a government it's unable to be honest and forthright with its own people and instead relies on propaganda to "inform" the people.
Sadly, we're becoming more and more like the old Soviet Union where the government's lying to its own people was standard operating procedure. There the people expected to be lied to and believed nothing of the "official pronouncements" coming from the Kremlin.
In the U.S. we also get "official pronouncements" coming out of Washington as well, which much the same as in the bad ole USSR is nothing more than lies and propaganda not to be believed.
