Thent he propaganda is doing its job. *wanders away from the politics again*
|
The problem is, it's hard to tell the difference between propaganda and truth. The public don't have any inside knowlege. They are at the mercy of whatever the media and government say. Which one they beleive depends on which one looks/sounds/behaves less irritating or sounds more beleiveable.
Propaganda only becomes apparant when later action or evidence contradicts it. Governments can't afford to cover things up with propaganda and lies all the time - they get voted in for what they promise to do, if they don't do it then people will know. Just saying that these WMDs are there isn't good enough, they need to actually be there. The government set themselves up to recieve shit, a scenario that they should've seen coming a long time ago. Which is the reason why we all beleive that Tony Blair is an idiot. Either that, or a god damned sheep.
There is no propaganda telling us that Tony Blair is a twat. There is no propaganda telling us that the Hutton report was a whitewash. We made our minds up ourselves, because unlike Tony Blair, we aren't gullible bootlickers. And above all, because there are no Torie favouring newspapers that are pushing out these stories, and there are certainly no news channels...
