When Corporations Use Scripted Lies to Brainwash the Public

'Divisive' - How Corporate Media Dismiss Ideas Unpopular With Elites

"If you repeat a lie often enough, people will believe it. It really is public brainwashing and misinformation." ~Robert Kane Pappas

"Television is by nature the dominator drug par excellence. Control of content, uniformity of content, repeatability of content make it inevitably a tool of coersion, brainwashing, and manipulation." ~Terence McKenna

Corporate media work for the wealthy oligarchs to keep the public, confused and distracted from issues that truly harm the common people.

“The conscious and intelligent manipulation of the organized habits and opinions of the masses is an important element in democratic society. Those who manipulate this unseen mechanism of society constitute an invisible government which is the true ruling power of our country. ...We are governed, our minds are molded, our tastes formed, our ideas suggested, largely by men we have never heard of. This is a logical result of the way in which our democratic society is organized. Vast numbers of human beings must cooperate in this manner if they are to live together as a smoothly functioning society. ...In almost every act of our daily lives, whether in the sphere of politics or business, in our social conduct or our ethical thinking, we are dominated by the relatively small number of persons...who understand the mental processes and social patterns of the masses. It is they who pull the wires which control the public mind.”

~Edward Bernays, Propaganda

While billionaire-owned media outlets could simply come out and say, "We oppose these proposals for ideological reasons," a much better rhetorical tactic is to present themselves as neutral observers, merely concerned about the practicality of such legislation.

The next time you hear your favorite political proposals being labeled as too "divisive," "contentious" or "polarizing" to work, check the polls first. You might be being sold a bill of goods by dishonest commentators trying to pour cold water on a progressive fire.

"You can't come to a new point of view until you realize what your brainwashing has been." ~Morton T. Kelsey
