War, Media and Propaganda

In simple terms propaganda is the distribution of information, this information may be the truth, lies or half-truths distributed to the public to influence their opinion. Propaganda is mainly used to promote a cause. Several skills are used to distort information to promote a cause or promote an ideology, these skills are mandatory in journalism to maintain their careers. Parenti refers to the types of manipulations tactics including omission, downplaying, labelling, face-value transmission (amplifying the official line), focusing on the process instead of the content for example the election process, media creators only show the physical appearance of ballot voting and counting of votes, sidelining any voter limitations and voters being sent back home without voting. Another evidence of concentrating on the process is the media coverage of protests, the media may cover a large number of protestors and portray defiance instead of reflecting the reasons for their protests. Another form is neutralizing information, this is mostly used in reporting military conquest and deployment. “Most Americans do not even know what social security is, don’t know it’s a dependency fund, disability fund and retirement funds”, Parenti. This is because of the damming down of education to avoid digging deep and asking hard questions. The media has all these tools among others used to control and direct its population into both building distrust and false beliefs or create a false sense of calmness and comfort.
