Propaganda

| | Comments (1)

I am sitting here at work with CNN on in the background. They just had a report about propaganda that not only jumped from Americans going to North Vietnam to September 11th but also ended with Jeff Greenfield saying that people will either believe that the US is liberating Iraq or they will fall for propaganda from other sources.

samfelder.com is thus propaganda.

They were interviewing a man from the military on NPR a couple of days ago and his comment was that if it wasn't officially sanctioned news from the US Military or from the Government then it just wasn't true and could not be trusted in any way. When the interviewer asked where that left other forms of media and pointed out that his comment was extreme, he said other forms of media just can't be trusted with the truth, that's all there is to it. For the truth, we can only trust our government. Now let's all go take some Soma and get happy... "One cubic centimetre cures ten gloomy sentiments"...or so said their government.
