Marketing and The Deceiving of the USA 1

[Guest guest]

IMHO, This is why multi-national corporations now own the media (because it

benefits their bottom line). I've heard

of a journalist losing his job after reporting on Mad Cow disease (because the

owners like; he gets a *contribution* increase

to help him/her get elected again). And studies have shown that the best

funded politician wins 9 of 10 times (except

in high profile races). There is a group that reports on *what* the media

reports (how they frame it, and what they

choose to ignore):

issues of conventional wisdom are scientifically implanted in the public

consciousness by a thousand media clips per day. In an effort to save time, I

would like to provide just a little background on the handling of .........
