OUR WORLD: WEB OF DECEIT. MASS MEDIA AS A MEANS OF PROPAGANDA

EMBEDDED REPORTERS, LIES DELIVERED BY THEN-RESPECTED OFFICIALS AND JOURNALISTS. ETC.
Manufacturing Consent, Facts Made NOT to Matter, Manipulating the News.

"The men the American people admire most extravagantly are the most daring liars; the men they detest most violently are those who try to tell them the truth." -- H. L. Mencken

"We Americans are the ultimate innocents. We are forever desperate to believe that this time the government is telling us the truth." -- Sydney Schanberg

"If you think any American official is going to tell you the truth, then you're stupid." -- Arthur Sylvester, assistant secretary of Defense for public affairs, to American Journalists, 1965

"Why, of course, the people don't want war. Why would some poor slob on a farm want to risk his life in a war when the best that he can get out of it is to come back to his farm in one piece? Naturally, the common people don't want war; neither in Russia nor in England nor in America, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But, after all, it is the leaders of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy or a fascist dictatorship or a Parliament or a Communist dictatorship.

... Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is to tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same way in any country." -- Hermann Goering - Nazi leader [from Gustave Gilbert's Nuremberg Diary (1947)]

"As news organizations are increasingly driven by a bottom-line mentality, the news we get becomes more and more sensational. What is the difference between Time and Newsweek? Between ABC, NBC, and CBS News? Between the Washington Post and the New York Times? For all practical purposes, none. The concentration of media power means that Americans increasingly get their information from a few sources who decide what is "news."-- OLIVER STONE
