I suggest you also check out Bernay's book propaganda. It's not an easy read (simply, because you have read through bullshit), but it's fairly important that people understand the media that targets them. Quick Google shows a freely available copy. Here's an interesting quote from Bernay's Propaganda: "Different men rule us in the various departments of our lives. There may be one power behind the throne in politics, another in the manipulation of the Federal discount rate..." Chapter III I find a lot of people complain about the gap between the rich and the poor, but they never take a second to think about the easily accessible and 0% - 1% interest rate loans that the rich enjoy from governments. Governments creating poverty?!? Nah :)
