Exploitation by the Left, the Right and Mainstream Media

After receiving the same information,


what are the chances of 100 people thinking relatively the same thing


or acting in a similar way?


 


34% of Americans said the First Amendment goes too far


 


46% believed the press was too free


 


28% felt newspapers shouldn’t publish articles


without government approval


 


31% wanted war protest outlawed during war


 


State of the First Amendment Survey


University of Connecticut, 2003


 


Are you in grave danger of being slaughtered by terrorists?


 


...the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders


 


All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked,


and denounce the peacemakers for lack of patriotism,


and exposing the country to danger.


 


It works the same in any country.


 


Hermann Goering


Have your neighbors been conditioned to think


what they otherwise wouldn’t?


 


You cannot make a man


by standing a sheep on its hind legs


 


But by standing a flock of sheep in that position


you can make a crowd of men


 


Max Beerbohm


 


Can corporate representatives, politicians and media personalities


present information inconsistent with constituent need?


 


A lie told often enough becomes the truth.


 


Lenin
