Mainstream Media Lies to the Masses - Media Lies Documentary


Published on 17 Mar 2014
The behind the scenes machinations of big money and politics are so well hidden from most of the population, that if people actually knew how things were really run, we would quite literally have a second revolution overnight. Henry Ford knew this well when he said, "It is well enough that people of the nation do not understand our banking and monetary system, for if they did, I believe there would be a revolution before tomorrow morning."

Most people who read this might have a hard time fathoming how an entire nation could be so well deceived, but it's really not that hard when you understand the inner workings and hierarchy of an overly revered media in which we place our blind trust.

The truth is not as you know it. Our faith in the media myth has been our Achilles heel.

Many have realized long ago that our politicians will lie to us at the drop of a hat, but most have no clue that our news media lies and deceives us just as much, if not more so.

We have been deceived by our media to such an extent, mostly because people are too trusting of our news system. They very naively believe that broadcasters and journalists would never lie to us. This trust has worked against us with devastating consequences which are unknown to most.

How Political Power Uses Propaganda to Distract the Public: Noam Chomsky...



Published on 4 May 2013
Necessary Illusions: Thought Control in Democratic Societies is a 1989 book by US academic Noam Chomsky concerning political power using propaganda to distort and distract from major issues to maintain confusion and complicity, preventing real democracy from becoming effective. The title of this book borrows a phrase from the writings of Reinhold Niebuhr.

Nearly the entire first half of the book is based on Chomsky's five 1988 Massey Lectures on Canadian Broadcasting Corporation Radio from November 1988 and extends his and Edward S. Herman's propaganda model to a variety of new situations. The remaining appendices address criticisms of the work and provide additional detail.

As a genre of political thought, parallels exist between Niebuhr's "necessary illusions" and the "noble lies" of Leo Strauss, "public relations" of Edward Bernays and "myth making" of Niccolò Machiavelli. Likewise, Chomsky's analyses in Necessary Illusions represent a refocus on the use of these patterns of power, which he implies to underscore the failure of populations - particularly in a representative democracy - to learn from history in this regard.

Contents Democracy and the Media Containing the Enemy The Bounds of the Expressible Adjuncts of Government The Utility of Interpretations

Appendix I The Propaganda Model: Some Methodological Considerations On Critical Balance

Appendix II The Containment Doctrine The Red Scare

Appendix III The Sanctity of Borders

Appendix IV The Craft of "Historical Engineering" The Obligation of Silence The Summits The Media and International Opinion Demolishing the Accords

Appendix V The US and Costa Rican Democracy "The Evil Scourge of Terrorism" Hereos and Devils The "Peace Process" in the Middle East The Best Defense La Prensa and its Colleagues "The Courage to Preserve Civil Liberties" The Continuing Struggle
