Pretty much everything written by one country's media about another country is propaganda.
There is just as much propaganda in American media as there is in Chinese Media.
Does Rupert Murdoch support SOPA or is it the fine informed editors at the Wall Street Journal? Rupert wouldn't use his media as a propaganda network for his own benefit would he?
There is no propaganda in American Media, none at all. It's only the evil commies that have propaganda.
- pyre 15y ago> Pretty much everything written by one country's media > about another country is propaganda. You say this, yet you only attack American media for propaganda. Would you say the same thing about a BBC article on Iraq? A French article on Spain?
- tnuc 15y agoIn general, yes I would say the same thing. I am certain a German article on the economic situation in Greece is going to be quite different to an article in a Greek newspaper. My intent wasn't to attack Americans or American media so much as to outline an example as to how Rupert Murdoch (and others) uses the media for his own gain. This is by no means limited to the US. He has a multinational media network. People like Kim Jong-un also write propaganda but are limited by the reach of their media network. My apologies if I offended any anyone, this was certainly not my intent.
- reuven 15y agoI'm not sure how you can say this with a straight face, given the incredible diversity of opinion in the American media. Sure, the US government engages in propaganda. But if you're only listening to the what the government says, or to one take on it, then you're purposely restricting the depth and breadth of opinions that exist.
