Media and news
In order for the US and other powers to execute their foreign policy
plans, it is necessary to prevent the public from serioulsy questioning those plans. If
those plans involve illegality and immorality, then the public must be distracted, this is
the role of propaganda That we in the Europe are subject to such propaganda may come as a
surprise, but its easily demonstrated.
As already mentioned, few of us are aware of the full extent of the Iraq tragedy, were we
made aware then we would quickly see that the government are 'intervening' in Kosovo for
other reasons, and we may become awkward and state our objections, this will never do, so
to ensure that we cooperate with these immoral plans, we are deceived. The media must be
endorsing this, why do all the major newspapers and media outlets by and large agree on
most major issues? What would the public do if the headlines of tomorrows major papers
stated soemthing like '250 die each day. 1.5 million already dead, genocide in Iraq' would
the public doubt the sincerity of our elected leaders claims that they are commited to
human rights in Kosovo?
That the press and media are not reporting this and other tragedies is a testament to the
growing immorality of the press itself, and suggests that the press, nothing other than
coroprate businesses, are a willing participant. Never forget that the press and media
serve the interests of the businesses that own them, and their objectivity often clashes
with profitability.
