can the media propaganda be used for mind control of the masses?

Answer 1

Most people think we are losing in Iraq.

Here is an example that proves that this is occurring.

Answer 2

It already is. We know it by the advertising tactics, as well as the programming shown on TV networks.

For instance, MTV is a major motivator for young people to dress a certain way and adopt worldviews which are different than those offered up on TLC.

The news is especially biased to an agenda. Most media outlets are left-leaning, and some of those can be blatantly obvious (take NBC's latest snafu about remarks made about the military in Iraq).

The Internet is also a major propaganda tool, reaching out to almost every person in the developed world, and many more in the third world.

We see advertising everywhere we go. It's almost impossible to escape the pall of marketing and PR firms. There are ads in books, magazines, TV, the Internet, on bus stops, on buses, billboards, cars, bumper stickers, ad nauseam.

It's just a matter of time before subliminal messages are in every advertising medium.

Answer 3

The media, both TV and print, can influence the masses tremendously. They can push a topic that previously was not a big deal and all the sudden it's mass hysteria. I know it's bad in this country, not so much "mind controlling" but they can and do influence what news and information we hear. I think that in other countries that have state ran television, they probably do have mind control over their people. If you think about it, most of us get the majority of our information from media. And usually most take what they see and read as truth. Scary to think what a government could potentially do if they controlled all the media we see.

Answer 4

the holy bible says two stars must fall
one is the media ; further at isa 21;2 we are warned of a distressing vision
that even advises to ''beseige the media,
all its sighing i have made to cease''
you would have thought with thier sway they could have changed thier name by pr or spin before now
but no
go figure there is relivance in the old texts

Answer 5

they seem to be doing a fantastic job of it. People do whatever the media tells them. Pretty soon the internet is going to be illegal. They manipulate people with fear, and people are very suseptible to it.

Answer 6

Of course, it happens every single day. That is why it is called propaganda.

Answer 7

it's done all the time.

Answer 8
