Shirley MacLaine went to China in the early 70s, and wrote a book extolling the creation of a new, more beautiful society. It turned out that she wrote it in the middle of the Cultural Revolution, when Chinese society was being upended and purged, and elderly scholars who had been in the Long March were mistreated by their students and accused of thought crimes in kangaroo courts, and sent to work in the fields. She had no inkling of any of this, because she was shown what she wanted to see, and inquired no further.
