Wait - I know! Books on Propaganda are actually very devious forms of propaganda! The people in the MSM are actually on our side telling the truth but then people write these books to make gullible people disbelieve them! Can't you see how you are being manipulated, you fools! :p

You don't believe the MSM/government utilizes propaganda techniques to sway people?

I do.

But dig, I don't trust Chomsky further than I can spit.

There seems to be a disconnect between your post and your signature block, which says:

"The journalist is one who separates the wheat from the chaff, and then prints the chaff." - Adlai Stevenson

I'm not going to argue with you on this one, but the book gives one perspective to a point, then one must look to other material to get beyond that. It's a stepping stone.

Have an article or two about this that people can read and then discuss?

I'll dig into my archives and find a few things and post them here. There's some really good material out there.
