KulakNOLA556 and I were talking about this very idea last night, there hasn't in the course of human existance been more divisiveness in the media. From cleaver placement of news headlines to the repeated application of choice words it has become obvious that this isn't your Granddaddy's propaganda machine.
My Father has told me my whole life that "the media is businesses tool against the government and the people alike."
It has become apparent to me that the media is driving the pacification of the American people. While the Government is pushing a "See something, say something" agenda which is reminesent of the Youth League of 1984 the media is reshaping what is and what isn't a Thought Crime. What was once devaint sexual behavior is now openly discussed while advocating.. shit even wanting to exersice your God given rights has become a dirty taboo and puts you into the catagory of "Right wing extremist."
Remember what they did at Ruby Ridge, Idaho? Our Government murdered Randy Weaver's family and the media made it palatable to the populous by portraying him and as if the beliefs he held made him subhuman. They said Randy Weaver was a Neo-Nazi.
Remember what happened at Mount Carmel, Texas? Once again our Goverment murdered 76 people and the media did their thing.
Yet we are dangerous, we are the terrorists.
