Political campaigns today are all sideshows, all honors, all bombast, glitter, and speeches. These are for the most part unrelated to the main business of studying the public scientifically, of supplying the public with party, candidate, platform, and performance, and selling the public these ideas and products. --Edward Bernays, Propaganda (1928) #propaganda #disinformation #misinformation #fakenews #uniparty #EconomicHappinessMachine

@ebbot 2/2 But, given our present political conditions under which every office seeker must cater to the vote of the masses, the only means by which the born leader can lead is the expert use of propaganda. --Edward Bernays, Propaganda (1928) #propaganda #disinformation #misinformation #fakenews #uniparty #EconomicHappinessMachine

This Washington Post editorial shows how far the Washington Post has fallen.

Editorial: "US cut aid to Africa. The continent proved resilient. The abrupt change was messy, but forced governments to reform fast."

Karen Attiah: "I used to write some of their editorials. To describe hundreds of thousands of deaths on the continent as 'messy' is an absolute abomination."
