I think that you are politically naive to think that an 'opposition party' offers more than a false display of opposition - they all follow the same agenda directed by banking cartels and multinational corporations. How they go about it varies slightly but the results are the same.
'Free press' is another naive concept which the internet has exposed - the reason why internet monitoring and curbs are proposed.
The truth would endanger the control they excercise over your opinions and lifestyle.
'They' sometimes 'own up' to malpractice in government in order to (falsely) reassure you that your government acts in your interests - it doesn't.
