![]() Tags: discourse/language, knowledge, media, war/military, ideology, noam chomsky, propaganda model, representation, 06 to 10 mins Year: 2012 Length: 6:09; 3:41 Access: clip 1; clip 2 Summary: Strike up a conversation with a crowd of students about the media and odds are you will encounter a deep-seated suspicion that even in democratic political systems propaganda exists. Many people believe the media powerfully shape the public's vision of the world; yet when pressed, few are able to pinpoint whose view is being propagandized. Thus the public is suspicious, but divided on where to direct its suspicion. Fewer still are in agreement as to how the media most effectively succeeds in shaping public knowledge. In their book Manufacturing Consent: the Political Economy of the Mass Media, Edward S. Herman and Noam Chomsky famously proposed a propaganda model, which argues that government entities and powerful businesses are able to control the information the media reports through five kinds of filters: 1) ownership (i.e., media outlets filter information that is incompatible with the interests of their parent companies); 2) advertising (i.e., advertisers pressure the media to filter information that is incompatible with the advertiser's interests); 3) sourcing (i.e., the media are dependent on government and major corporations for news bulletins, and these sources filter the information they share); 4) flak (i.e., the government and major corporations are able to pressure media outlets to filter information); and 5) anticommunist ideology (i.e., the media is influenced by dominant ideologies and filters information to align with ideology). In the first clip above, Norman Solomon, founder of the Institute for Public Accuracy, echoes this propaganda model. For instance, at the 2:35 mark, Solomon describes Herman and Chomsky's sourcing filter when he notes that journalists must take their cue from government organizations as to what is even worth mentioning. Lest students get the impression that propaganda is simply a matter of information either being "filtered" or reported, the second clip explores the way euphemism is deployed to cover up unpleasant events or avoid discussing events that reveal powerful actors, such as the state, in an unflattering light. William Lutz describes this use of euphemism in his influential essay "The World of Doublespeak," where he notes that in 1984 the U.S. State Department announced it would no longer use the word "killing" in its reports and would opt instead for the phrase "unlawful or arbitrary deprivation of life." Note that this is the second post on The Sociological Cinema to take up the topic of contemporary propaganda. Submitted By: Lester Andrist

I just want to say Thank You to everyone who supported me through the years. My name is Manuel Franco, New Berlin, Wisconsin. My story of how I won the Powerball lottery of $768.4M is a bit of a tale. I have been playing Powerball tickets for 6 years now since I turned 18. I bought my first ticket on my 18 birthday. I was feeling very lucky that day because I had contacted Dr. Odunga Michael to help me with the winning Powerball numbers. I really had that great great feeling that I looked at the camera wanting to wink at it. I only did a tiny part of it and trusted him. He gave me the numbers after I played a couple other tickets along with it for $10. I checked my ticket after the winnings came online and saw the numbers were correct including the Power play. I screamed for about 10 minutes because it felt like a dream. I had won $768.4M. You can check my winning testimony with the lottery officials just with my name search. Thank you Dr Odunga. Well, his email is [email protected] and you can also call or Whats-app him at +2348167159012 so you guys can contact him

I never thought I would fall victim to a crypto scam until I was convinced of a crypto investment scam that saw me lose all my entire assets worth $347,000 to a crypto investment manager who convinced me I could earn more from my investment. I thought it was all gone for good but I kept looking for ways to get back my stolen crypto assets and finally came across FIRMWALL CYBER SECURITY SERVICE, a crypto recovery company that has been very successful in the recovery of crypto for many other victims of crypto scams and people who lost access to their crypto.

My journey from victim to victor serves as a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the power of perseverance. To those who find themselves ensnared in similar predicaments, I offer this beacon of hope: recovery is possible, even when the odds seem insurmountable.In closing, I extend my heartfelMy recent encounter with SWIFT SPY ASSETS RECOVERY marks a pivotal chapter in my life, one fraught with deception, hope, and ultimately, redemption. It began with what seemed like a promising investment opportunity but quickly unraveled into a sophisticated scam that left me reeling. It all started innocuously enough on the Telegram app, where I was lured into investing in what purported to be stocks of tech giants like Amazon and Apple. The scammers convinced me to download MetaTrader and Trust Wallet, tools that seemed legitimate for managing investments and cryptocurrency transactions. Little did I know, these were mere props in an elaborate scheme designed to defraud unsuspecting investors like myself. Eager to capitalize on what appeared to be a lucrative venture, I began funding the trading app with substantial wire transfers, eventually amounting to over 180,000USD. Each transaction seemed to reinforce the illusion that my investments were thriving in the booming tech market. However, the truth was far more sinister. It wasn’t until I attempted to withdraw my supposed profits that I realized something was amiss. Communication from the scammers became sparse, and when I did manage to contact them, their promises grew increasingly hollow. It dawned on me then: I had fallen victim to a meticulously orchestrated scam, and my hard-earned money was now in the hands of faceless criminals. In a desperate bid for justice, I turned to the NYPD, armed with evidence of my transactions and a trail of deceit. However, after a month of investigation, their verdict was disheartening: crypto assets, once transferred, were virtually untraceable. I was devastated by the realization that traditional law enforcement channels seemed ill-equipped to tackle crimes of this nature.Despite the bleak prognosis, a glimmer of hope flickered within me. I refused to accept defeat and resolved to explore alternative avenues for recovery. It was during this exhaustive search that I stumbled upon SWIFT SPY ASSETS RECOVERY, a name that would soon restore my faith in the fight against cybercrime. With little to lose and everything to gain, I entrusted Cyber Tech Wizard with my case. Swiftly, they sprang into action, meticulously tracing the convoluted path of my funds across the digital ether. Their expertise and determination were evident as they navigated through the complexities of blockchain transactions and cryptocurrency protocols.In a remarkable turnaround, just 72 hours later, SWIFT SPY ASSETS RECOVERY delivered the news I had begun to believe was impossible: my funds were successfully retrieved and restored to my bank account. The sense of relief and vindication was overwhelming, contrasting starkly with the despair I had felt mere days before. My journey from victim to victor serves as a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the power of perseverance. To those who find themselves ensnared in similar predicaments, I offer this beacon of hope: recovery is possible, even when the odds seem insurmountable. In closing, I extend my heartfelt gratitude to SWIFT SPY ASSETS RECOVERY for their unwavering support and unwavering commitment to justice. They did not only restored my financial losses but also renewed my faith in the pursuit of justice in the digital age.
