"Most of the 'pictures in our heads' we have gained from these media-even to the point where we often do not really believe what we see before us until we read about it in the paper or hear about it on the radio."- C Wright Mills, The Power Elite
"Fundamental deceptions damage the public's ability to maintain a rational view of the world. Once a basic untruth is rooted, it blurs a society's perception of reality and, consequently, the intelligence with which society reacts to events."- Ben H. Bagdikian, The New Media Monopoly "The worst forms of tyranny, or certainly the most successful ones, are not those we rail against but those that so insinuate themselves into the imagery of our consciousness, and the fabric of our lives, as not to be perceived as tyranny" Michael Parenti "When faced with a choice between confronting an unpleasant reality and defending a set of comforting and socially accepted beliefs, most people choose the later course." W. Lance Bennett.
