The tip of th e iceberg that we call the American media. It's not what it once was (if it EVER was, to begin with)... John Stauber is a left-wing American writer and political activist who co-authored five books about propaganda by governments, private interests and the PR industry. They include one book about industry manipulating science, Trust Us, We're Experts, one about the history and current scope of the public relations industry (Toxic Sludge is Good for You), and one about mad cow disease (Mad Cow USA), which predicted the surfacing of the disease within the United States. In July 2003 he and Sheldon Rampton wrote Weapons of Mass Deception: The Uses of Propaganda in Bush's War on Iraq, that argued that the Bush administration deceived the US into supporting the war. In 2004, the two wrote Banana Republicans, which argued that the Republican Party is turning the U.S. into a one-party state. The book argues that the far-right and its functionaries in the media, lobbying establishment and electoral system are undermining dissent and squelching pluralistic politics in the United States.
Stauber is the founder and executive director of the The Center for Media & Democracy, which sponsors PR Watch and SourceWatch. Since the 1960s, he has worked with public interest, consumer, family farm, environmental and community organizations at the local, state and national level. He edits and writes for the Center's quarterly newsmagazine, PR Watch.

Hello 4449911: I am interested in your educated opinion regarding mass group religions or 'group think'. Do you believe them to be a form of indoctrination or propoganda? A closed group or cult, if you will; are they, in point of fact- by your definition, indoctrination?
It's a form of ... ( 9 months ago by 4449911)
It's a form of class warfare and secret societies are just well-fed lap dogs of the elitists. The Christian faith is unique for its Mystery Schools, which creates Jesuits and Knights of columbus on the Catholic side of the Western Schism ... and Freemasons and Shriner's on the Protestant side. These groups facilitate the non-consensual public culture with pom-poms.
I agree with all ... ( 9 months ago by londontownz)
I agree with all you say and I also believe 'cults' to be secret societies that render their membership catatonic; residing in a world where their mind is unreachable, destroyed by group-think and group-speak and rendering these persons unable to face reality, interact normally and make positive and mature decisions:)

I'm glad you are watchdogging those firms or individuals that are deceptive. This said, your piece seems to imply that all PR firms and companies are just hucksters and con artists. I think you give too little credence to the weight of the truth in PR campaigns, and the role of journalists to vet disingenuous campaigns. In fact, with the advent of YouTube and blogging, it's even MORE important to be straight or very quickly and harshly, you will be exposed. Len Cercone, CerconeBrownCurtis PR

meh.. I work as a flash designer for a small "behind the scenes" PR company. Their primary goal is to sell their client's products, rather than brain wash and manipulate. However if you want to believe there is a global PR conspiracy, power to you and your tin foil hat! The truth is that everybody has to pay a mortgage. This video is hypocritical, that is that.

Listen, I'm a PR major, and I am sure as hell not a conspirator. Shit like this makes people like me seem evil, and that is not the case at all. All we are, are people helping companies or people make or keep an image. A good PR agent will not blatantly lie.

I'm a PR major too, and yes we will not lie. Everyone get your facts straight, PR and advertising are two different things. PR is when we present free information to news media, and its upto them what they show and how they present it.

This is what is ... ( 2 months ago by dsrtflwr)
This is what is really happening: Most people are rejecting the left-wing socialist message. The left doesn't believe this, and thinks we're being manipulated. The left thinks we're all malleable morons who can't think for ourselves. With each successive presidential election we'll see a conservative win by a larger and larger margin. Americans are rejecting global warming, the UN, socialized medicine, gun control, etc. It's going to be fun watching liberals wig out as they lose control.
I totally have to ... ( 1 month ago by bcuzikan)
I totally have to disagree with you. I honestly don't think the majority of Americans really think for themselves. I think history proves that America jumps. For instance, the country is currently in economic hardship, this is a duhhh, but instead of research and figure out which candidate will better assist us in ending this economic slump, it is easier to say ok Bush is in power. Bush=Republican, therefore if we elect a democrat then things will get better. This is the sad truth of our country
Ok, this is ... ( 1 month ago by bcuzikan)
Ok, this is completely stupid. First off PR is against lying because that only leads to more problems when the truth comes out. Secondly, advertising is not going to get you to buy something you don't want. For instance, a wonder bra ad isn't going to make me go out to buy a bra. Public Relation doesn't try and manipulate news they try to pass along the information of the organization to the proper individuals and publics. They don't try to manipulate the world.

this, i would consider is marketing and not public relations. PR usually represents and asserts opinions for entire companies, their mission and purposes. marketing often focuses on specific products and how to best place them in the consumers minds. Example --off the top of my head. :) A marketer would figure out how to get a student to buy a ticket to the "big game" at a college. a PR guy would try to create an opinion of the college to influence him/her to attend.
