The media manipulation how far back does it go

[Tusk]

The current knee jerk reaction to vilify Putin and other incidents like the chemical weapons in Syria and WOMD in Iraq you begin to see an undeniable pattern emerge, who is really behind all of this?

Media manipulation ? In the UK ?

Look no further than this man

"The point about real power is that it does its own work, particularly among those who deal in power. Nobody in the power elite needs to be told. They all recognise the mogul’s power and, with few exceptions, they do everything they can to pacify him, to ingratiate themselves. The mogul, for the most part, does not have to make threats or issue instructions. He just has to show up. Not even that – he just has to exist, somewhere in the background. Everybody understands; the fact of power is enough. If there’s a bull in the field, everybody steps carefully. The fear gives him access; the access gives him influence. Real power is passive."

What a great writer and journalist Nick Davies is. Nay, a great man.

And what a neurotic, immoral, bullying heap of shite Rupert Murdoch is (and yes, you too Rebekah)

One of the first successful media manipulations of the public was performed by Napoleon prior to invasion into Russia in 1812. Napoleon can be said to have been the first media magnate, consolidating control of most of the French newspapers in his hands, while closing a number of those that didn't want to go along. The pattern set by Napoleon has been refined, but in reality it's still the same at its core.
