MEDIA+ GOVERNMENT= PROPAGANDA
My notion revolves around the media's acceptance of the
government's "official" position on a subject. Once a government
agency has taken an "official" position, mainstream media, especially
network news, will not challenge it. This is not just an observation, it is an
unwritten policy confirmed by several seasoned reporters. The deaf, dumb, and
blind acceptance of an "official" press release from the government
fits very nicely into the American way of life - do as little as is necessary
to get that paycheck. Put in your eight-hour day, but no longer without
compensation. Exert enough effort to keep the boss off your back, and, by all
means, don't make waves.
Propaganda is a form of communication aimed towards
influencing the attitude of the community toward some cause or position by
presenting only one side of an argument. Propaganda statements may be partly
false and partly true. Propaganda is usually repeated and dispersed over a wide
variety of media in order to create the chosen result in audience attitudes..
What is the difference? Between America media and socialism
or communist if, they are using the techniques...
