....or a political situation?

I guess it's like the old Soviet joke:

There's no news in "Truth", and no truth in "News".

*There were two major national newspapers in the USSR:
   - "Pravda" [truth], published by the Central Committee of the 
Communist Party, largely devoted to party policy
   - "Izvestia" [news], published by the Supreme Soviet (government), 
mainly foreign news

Or is it like:

I'd rather have a bottle in front of me than a frontal lobotomy
