News Wrong

News, from the beginning has been about the manufacture and ‘carry/distribution’ of someone, or a group’s opinion. There is always a motive behind even the reporting of the most simple events. As a matter of fact a simple occurrence such as a traffic accident, shooting, robbery, etc.., is fertile ground for rumor, whether manufactured, or otherwise, to take root.

News gathering has always been a subterfuge to hide an overall agenda, the news is a place to hide behind so the real story/agenda can be scripted and delivered.

The shapers/molders of society at the turn of the century knew that it was vitally important to their agenda and foreign policies to control as much as possible, everything the public read about as it pertained to news and politics. Politics shaped the news and vice-versa, they worked hand and ‘eye’ to fabricate and steer popular opinion by making it popular.

Nephew of Sigmund Freud, known as the Western Goebells, the master-mind of modern American Propaganda, Edward Bernays was 104 when he died in 1995. In his century behind the scenes, Edward Bernays worked with many corporations and the government to advertise and propagandize the American public into different group-think patterns. Among others he was top advisor to William Paley, the founder of CBS. He wrote in his 1928 book “Propaganda”:

 “The conscious and intelligent manipulation of organized habits and opinions of the masses is an important element in a democratic society. Those who manipulate this unseen mechanism of society constitute an invisible government which is the true ruling power in our country … We are governed, our mind’s are molded, our tastes formed, our ideas suggested largely by men we have never heard of … we are dominated by a 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 and who harness social forces and contrive new ways to bind and guide the world … It remains a fact 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 this relatively small number of persons… As civilization has become more complex, and as the need for invisible government has been increasingly demonstrated, the technical means have been invented and developed by which opinion may be regimented.”
