[ELECTRON] What's "The Big Idea" 7:00 Fri 18th Electron DIY Cinema

[Bob]

Propaganda is thousands of years old the Greeks called it rhetoric, The 
Church built mass armies of believers with it. Warring nations created hate 
campaigns towards there enemies using it. The first and second world wars 
could never have happened without it. Industrialists have amassed billions 
through its use.

Now millions of workers leave home each day to practice the art of 
propaganda without even realising it.(and so do most journalists)

When the name propaganda lost respectability it was changed to "public 
relations".

-- Noam Chomsky Andrew Marr - The propaganda model --

Chomsky and Andrew Marr of the BBC, in which Chomsky explains to the
disbelieving journalist how the media serve power interests.

Considering propaganda now called "public relations" consumes our daily
lives - in comparison there is very little discussed or written about it.

After film chat - Are you free from propaganda?

"It is arguable that the success of business propaganda in persuading
us,for so long that we are free from propaganda is one of the most
significant propaganda achievements of the twentieth century". John Carey
(Taking the Risk out of Democracy)
