There's a Soviet joke just like that about a Soviet Jew finally succeeding in moving to Israel, then ordering Pravda from abroad for the next 10 years and giving the same response when asked about his motive for reading it: the Israeli press all says how miserable and doomed the country is, the Pravda claims that it's a superpower with an invincible army on the verge of taking over the world. (Pravda having been covertly anti-semitic in general but openly and ravingly Anti-Zionist.)
