I aim to make it easy for everybody to look at Journalism's history, examine it, and reference the ways in their own words they have decided to manipulate people. Other footnoted items include Drudge's original article about the Newsweek coverup, an article relating to the JournoList, Nelson Crawford's 1924 book "The Ethics of Journalism", Edward Bernay's book "Crystallizing Public Opinion", and a 1977 book about the Tet Offensive. One item that I did not footnote because it was such a well known story at the time is a small entry relating to Dan Rather's use of fake documents as an effort in Government by Journalism. Many of these and other footnotes are still in copyright, but I cite them briefly and with proper formatting as is common practice for research efforts of this type.
Thanks for the BEEP!
I’m looking forward to reading your work as well as the references you provided.
Thanks, in advance.
I also find this to be a very important topic that must be understood in order to, at the very least, stay in the game.
From my perspective it seems that conservatives are really good at analyzing and deconstructing what has or is happening. We can destroy virtually every position put forth yet the left is still able to move the ball in their direction. I find this curious.
Upon further reflection, I can’t imagine the left does any analysis what so ever. They just keep pushing ahead. If they did reflect in any way they would destroy themselves.
That said, what they are doing is in fact working for them.
To suggest that the lefts modern writers have any connection or understanding of history would, in my humble opinion, make what they present/produce a conscious conspiracy.
Propaganda, is a conscious conspiracy.
The left does what they do, and says what they say because they have a fundamental desire to exploit the uncertainty that exists in virtually every aspect of life.
Their exploitation of uncertainty has led them to their embrace of uncertainty as the way things are.
They have unwittingly created a vacuum where truth once resided that must now be filled by man and its governments.
