The Miami Seven Story-The Press Bought It

By Monday, the gullible GOP controlled press will have
embellished the fragile terrorist story into a terrorism
case potentially worse than the 9-11 incident


GOP controlled? The entire media is controlled by leftists and liberals.
Come out of your cave and update your records, moron.

"The press ... traditionally sides with authority and the
establishment."
---Sam Donaldson, ABC correspondent - On Bended Knee, p77

"In the United States, both the Republican and Democratic Parties, with
only a few prominent exceptions, have been and are in the pay of the
corporate media and communication giants."
---John Nichols and Robert McChesney

I think democracy fails under a variety of conditions and one of the
conditions occurs when people don't have the ability to get the kind of
information they need to make up their mind. Ideologically, I don't
care much for FOX News. But the truth is that, as long as there are
countervailing points of view available on the spectrum, it doesn't
matter."
---Howard Dean

"The Gulf War ... was made popular by an immense propaganda barrage
unleashed by the Pentagon, the media, and government, creating an
ideological milieu in which 45 percent of the population said it would
be prepared to use nuclear weapons against Iraq. Military actions were,
transformed into a grotesque national spectacle, a great celebration of
war-making."
---Carl Boggs

"The major media are large corporations, owned by and interlinked with
even larger conglomerates. Like other corporations, they sell a product
to a market. The market is advertisers - that is, other businesses. The
product is audiences, [and] for the elite media, [they're] relatively
privileged audiences. So we have major corporations selling fairly
wealthy and privileged audiences to other businesses. Not surprisingly,
the picture of the world presented reflects the narrow and biased
interests and values of the sellers, the buyers and the product."
---Noam Chomsky (from Take the Rich Off Welfare

"One of the intentions of corporate-controlled media is to instill in
people a sense of disempowerment, of immobilization and paralysis. Its
outcome is to turn you into good consumers. It is to keep people
isolated, to feel that there is no possibility for social change."
----David Barsamian, journalist and publisher

" The cost of being presented as a " responsible and serious candidate"
by the media [is] usually to show fundamental agreement with the
existing distribution of wealth and power. "
---Michael Lerner, philosopher, psychologist, author

I have the greatest admiration for your propaganda. Propaganda in
the West is carried out by experts who have had the best training in
the world -- in the field of advertizing -- and have mastered the
techniques with exceptional proficiency ... Yours are subtle and
persuasive; ours are crude and obvious ... I think that the fundamental
difference between our worlds, with respect to propaganda, is quite
simple. You tend to believe yours ... and we tend to disbelieve ours. "
---a Soviet correspondent based five years in the U.S.

--- Rupert Murdoch: Bigger than Kane; LIBERAL?
