The Media Creates Us in Its Image
Stivers, Richard
Bulletin of Science, Technology & Society, v32 n3 p203-212 Jun 2012
Propaganda in all its forms is the culture of a mass society. The media transmits propaganda to form public opinion and recreate the human being. Reversing the Western ideal of a rational and free individual, the media creates a childish conformist ensconced in the peer group, who acts unconsciously.
