As mentioned Pravda was the official newspaper of the former U.S.S.R. that only printed news the government wanted you to hear which had little to do with the everyday realities of waiting in line for 8 hours to get toilet paper.
Currently, in the U.S., abc, cbs, nbc,
and somewhat less egregious, pbs
fill the void as they drag the greatest society in history toward
socialism and, consequently, world
hunger as they perpetuate myths like man-made global warming (widely debunked) on a young populace who never had any formal education on history of any kind and believes what they read on social media and the sewer known as twitter where one person can (and frequently does)seem like 100 when in fact less than 0.1% of the U.S. populace has a twitter account or cares to follow it. In the age of the internet there is no excuse for such laziness. In fact, electric cars are degrading our planet faster than fossil fuels ever could considering you need fossil fuels to charge them and tons of precious rare earth metals to produce them and once the battery dies they're likely headed to Cadillac Ranch for a unceremonious burial.
As once trusted sources of unbiased news, many people do not realize that abc, cbs, and nbc now are simply mouthpieces for the government deep state and the WEF, amounting to the modern equivalent of Pravda. Some who still believe such news is honest probably grew up watching Walter Cronkite, et al and didn't somehow
realize news should have no agenda. Rather than go online or watch Newsmax or Fox to get an opposing view they simply dismissed them. That's how we end up with lifelong politicians and clearly the least competent president in U.S. history who has purposely sabotaged our economy. The worst is yet to come and perhaps the youngens will wake up!

THE MAN! In social or professional situations. The one sometimes called also, "The King" as in "Kong is The King of foosball around these parts." From southern family's tradition (somewhat more common in black families and seemingly not at all among the Spanish speaking families) of having their children address adults as Mr/Mrs ...where the adult's FIRST name (or given name) then follows. Probably borne out of the baby boomer Gen who prefer to be ever young so that rather than be known as Mr. Johnson(more common prior to 1990 or so when respect for elders was the social norm) kids are taught to call adults Mr. Doug, etc.
Wait until Mr.Doug gets here, he always knows what to do. Essentially, it's formally informal and averts the tired responsive phrase to the effect of, "MrJohnson was my dad, you can call me Doug"
Mr. Doug sounds better to both parties.
Sorry, I'm not up to speed on all your rules so I put my complete entry above. To wit, "Wait until MrDoug gets here, he always knows what to do."
