'Orwell rolls in his grave' documentary featuring interviews with various high ranking news editors/CEOs of media outlets.

It gives an informed opinion by those who count and paints an unhealthy picture of various global corporations attempting to control and manipulate the news media through editorial censorship and precision propaganda.

I don't think Mr Orwell would be too impressed-is there anyone still out there who doesn't beleive we are living in a highly cynical and agenda driven mediocracy?

Solomons ~ Thats a fascinating film,thanks for posting
The cigarette psychology experiment is a very interesting one-I'm not suprised most ladies starting smoking after that.

If you've not seen it before this other presentation with Terry Hansen deals with UFOs and the media but does make some excellent points about government complicity and manipulation:

He who controls the media controls the masses.
Today, America's media is controlled exclusively by fewer than a dozen multinational conglomerates and their many interests. NewsCorp, AOL, Viacom, General Electric, Disney and others have formed a media oligarch that reaches into every American home and most every citizen...

Propaganda is the intentional dissemination of information aimed at influencing the opinions or behaviors of large numbers of people. Even so-called "public" television is "underwritten" (commercials in disguise) by the likes of Halliburton and The Heritage Foundation..

Footage you were never supposed to see

www.brasscheck.com...

Artist Brian Springer spent a year scouring the airwaves with a satellite dish grabbing back channel news feeds not intended for public consumption. The result of his research is SPIN, one of the most insightful films ever made about the mechanics of how television is used as a tool of social control to distort and limit the American public's perception of reality.

Take the time to watch it from beginning to end and you'll never look at TV reporting the same again. Tell your friends about it. This extraordinary film released in the early 1990s is almost completely unknown.

Great Thread *S* and F

No probs there mate -the more that view the film the better.

Theres an excellent book/film on the subject of 'mass media manipulation' called
Toxic sludge is good for you which documents how many
'expert media pundits' portrayed in the corporate news
broadcasts are in fact just Pentagon motivated,agenda driven
'talking heads' who stand to gain lucrative contracts/employment/incentives if they say the right things (or omit others).
The book also contains some very revealing facts about the Public relations industry and editorial censorship.

Toxic sludge is good for you:
www.youtube.com...

While advertising is the visible component of the corporate system, perhaps even more important and pervasive is its invisible partner, the public relations industry. This video illuminates this hidden sphere of our culture and examines the way in which the management of the public mind has become central to how our democracy is controlled by political and economic elites. Toxic Sludge Is Good For You illustrates how much of what we think of as independent, unbiased news and information has its origins in the boardrooms of the public relations companies.

Cheers.

Propaganda-Behind Big Media.
video.google.com...

This video documents outright lies broadcast by big media. This isn't simply liberal bias or sloppy reporting, but a revolutionary, subversive agenda originating outside the media. This is the most disturbing cover-up of our time.

Media Manipulation

The media is manipulated in all manners, for example through professional public relations (PR), and covert and overt government propaganda which disseminates propaganda as news.

Outfoxed Documentary:

Outfoxed examines how media empires, led by Rupert Murdoch's Fox News, have been running a "race to the bottom" in television news. This film provides an in-depth look at Fox News and the dangers of ever-enlarging corporations taking control of the public's right to know.

Rupert Murdoch:

Geoge Soros basically owns the democrats. His billions are in everything left wing. The democrats run MSNBC and CNN. So George Soros controls a lot of what is going on with those propaganda outlets as well.

Those folks that do claymation should have a Soros v Murdoch claymation match in the ring. That would be funny.

Excerpt from Richard Dolan's (excellent) book 'UFOs and the National Security State'.

In addition ,the history of the U.S. media shows unsettling developments,not least of which is penetration by the intelligence community.
By the early 1950s,the CIA had cosy relationships with most major media executives in America.
The most significant of these were with the New York Times, Washington Post, Christian Science Monitor, New York Herald Tribune, Saturday Evening Post, Miami Herald, Time-Life, CBS News, Scripps-Howard Newspapers, Hearst Newspapers, The Associated Press, United Press International, The Mutual Broadcasting System and Reuters.
In addition ,the CIA had major ownership over many proprietary publications throughtout Europe,Asia and the Americas.
By the early 1970s the agency admitted to having working relationships with over four hundred American journalists.
Consider the possiblities with four hundred strategically placed people throughout the mainstream media.
There is evidence that this relationship continues.

Fascinating thank you for all the videos! The one on Edward Bernays was new to me.

Another wrench in America's squeaky clean utopian heritage.

No probs mate.

This interview is quite interesting:

This amazing interview was done back in 1985 with a former KGB agent who was trained in subversion techniques. He explains the 4 basic steps to socially engineering entire generations into thinking and behaving the way those in power want them to. It's shocking because our nation has been transformed in the exact same way, and followed the exact same steps.

Mass media manipulation by Pentagon:

Pentagon used psychological operation on US public, documents show

..In a January 2005 memorandum to active members of both offices from then-Pentagon press office director, Navy Captain Roxie Merritt, who now leads the community relations office, emphasized the necessary “synergy of outreach shop and media ops working together” on the military analyst program.

Merritt recommended that both the press and community relations offices develop a “hot list” of analysts who could dependably “carry our water” and provide them with ultra-exclusive access that would compel the networks to “weed out the less reliably friendly analysts” on their own.

“Media ops and outreach can work on a plan to maximize use of the analysts and figure out a system by which we keep our most reliably friendly analysts plugged in on everything from crisis response to future plans,” Merritt remarked. “As evidenced by this analyst trip to Iraq, the synergy of outreach shop and media ops working together on these types of projects is enormous and effective. Will continue to examine ways to improve processes.”

The Power of Nightmares

This highly revealing BBC documentary digs deep into the roots of the war on terror, only to find that much of the widespread fear in the post-9/11 world has been fabricated by those in power for their own interests. The intrepid BBC team presents highly informative interviews with experts and top officials in combating terrorism who raise serious questions about who is behind all of the fear-mongering. These experts and riveting footage also show how the media have been manipulated to support secret power agendas.
