"Manufactured Consent"

[MaryL]

I was critical of Noam Chomsky's world view especially on the media (The media is a propaganda tool of the power elite) until I saw CNN calling Nick Sandman a racist hater... And CNN saying violent race riots where mostly peaceful, standing in front of burning buildings. Is the media impartial and a-political reporting facts or are they just tools?

A child of any age can see that most major media outlets are evangelists for the Democratic Party.

Leftist media don't report facts; they believe their job is to tell people what to think.

Their target audience is letting them do it, too.

The answer is as obvious as the massive fraud.

William Randolph Hearst. Prominent wealthy influencer, prominent wealthy owner of a huge media outlet. He owned a popular media and incited a war. 1898 Spanish/ America war. What a splendid little war. Just an example.

We've come to a time when no media can be trusted to provide truth.

I grew up and lived in the 60's . The twilight zone between communism and mass hysteria. Now, its White bashing and extreme focus on whites despite the high black crime rate and mentioning that is taboo. Because...racism.

Noam Chomsky didn't actually invent that world view.

He was just commenting on something that has been studied and has been purposely orchestrated by the ruling elites. He was only trying to popularize it among the left, so they were aware what corporate America is doing in an effort to get popular resistance to the corporate agenda.

The irony of course, is that the corporate agenda has sort of taken on the trappings of the left, with out actually taking on the goals of populist progressives.

The person that studied mass psychology and taught Madison Avenue, and government to employ techniques to manipulate the minds of the masses which are now used by both Hollywood, the ad agencies, news organizations, and the intelligence agencies, is Edward Bernays, Sigmund Freud's nephew.

Bernays, wrote the book on propaganda. . . I mean, it is literally called;
(and Chomsky writes a nice new intro here.) The book is so old, it is no longer under copywrite, read it here if you desire.

Propaganda (1928)
[The] American business community was also very impressed with the propaganda effort. They had a problem at that time. The country was becoming formally more democratic. A lot more people were able to vote and that sort of thing. The country was becoming wealthier and more people could participate and a lot of new immigrants were coming in, and so on.
So what do you do? It's going to be harder to run things as a private club. Therefore, obviously, you have to control what people think. There had been public relation specialists but there was never a public relations industry. There was a guy hired to make Rockefeller's image look prettier and that sort of thing. But this huge public relations industry, which is a U.S. invention and a monstrous industry, came out of the first World War. The leading figures were people in the Creel Commission. In fact, the main one, Edward Bernays, comes right out of the Creel Commission. He has a book that came out right afterwards called Propaganda. The term "propaganda," incidentally, did not have negative connotations in those days. It was during the second World War that the term became taboo because it was connected with Germany, and all those bad things. But in this period, the term propaganda just meant information or something like that. So he wrote a book called Propaganda around 1925, and it starts off by saying he is applying the lessons of the first World War. The propaganda system of the first World War and this commission that he was part of showed, he says, it is possible to "regiment the public mind every bit as much as an army regiments their bodies." These new techniques of regimentation of minds, he said, had to be used by the intelligent minorities in order to make sure that the slobs stay on the right course. We can do it now because we have these new techniques.
This is the main manual of the public relations industry. Bernays is kind of the guru. He was an authentic Roosevelt/Kennedy liberal. He also engineered the public relations effort behind the U.S.-backed coup which overthrew the democratic government of Guatemala.
His major coup, the one that really propelled him into fame in the late 1920s, was getting women to smoke. Women didn't smoke in those days and he ran huge campaigns for Chesterfield. You know all the techniques—models and movie stars with cigarettes coming out of their mouths and that kind of thing. He got enormous praise for that. So he became a leading figure of the industry, and his book was the real manual.

Noam Chomsky's world view -- "Manufactured Consent"

It sounds like there's an underage girl trying to have sex with a dirty old man. And that's the general rule in Noam Chomsky's liberal socialist, communist extreme left world view.

Regarding the "permission" to have sex parties, and why the fuckers can't be hauled off to jail without respect of persons I have no idea.

Maybe it's something "permitted" from city hall.
