Modern Media Manipulation - Digital Propaganda
My new article on The Todd Blog
Blurb:
The corporate media mindset has spread to the internet, infecting many whose intentions are indeed humanistic though wholly self-defeating within a broader context of manufactured conflict within a very narrow intellectual perspective of the world at large. To put it simply: there are essentially ten ‘hot button’ issues in the internet news cycle each day, each one exploited as a thousand articles/blogs are written on that particular issue, each one saying essentially the same as the other. Obviously, there are two sides to the particular issue, ‘left’ and ‘right,’ though those sides are increasingly blurred and exist solely to manufacture debate to keep both sides at arms in order to prevent them from realizing their similarities and the mutual enemy that serves to benefit from such a narrowly defined dialectic. As Noam Chomsky profoundly and simply said: “Either you repeat the same conventional doctrines everybody is saying, or else you say something true, and it will sound like it’s from Neptune.”
