At least the media showing somewhat the same only the atonement is totally opposite.
I for one hope we never go down the Indian route where the 20 percent or so middle class forgets about the 50 or so percent that are living their life in misery (corruption, poverty, hunger, sanitation, natural disasters etc) and only paint a picture that is dishonest and delusional. We need others to actually show us the true picture, the poorest 5 percent in the most developed countries live a far better life than most of our citizens.
