Here
in the United States, we’re often brought up and told we don't have
propaganda. That we have a hard-charging investigative crass, we have
this educated, skeptical, even cynical citizenry and that if there were
powerful interests trying to manage and manipulate public opinion, they
would be exposed.
The reality actually is just the opposite.
Academics like Alex Cary and others who’ve spent their lifetimes looking
at how propaganda works, finds that it’s actually in western
democracies and open societies where you need the most sophisticated
sorts of propaganda. Since World War I, thanks to people like Ivy Lee
and Eddie Bernays… propaganda has become a business, this business of
public relations. |
