The tendency of big business is to get bigger. Through mergers and monopolies it is constantly increasing the number of persons with whom it is in direct contact. All this has intensified and multiplied the public relationships of business. --Edward Bernays, Propaganda (1928)

It is this condition and necessity which has created the need for a specialized field of public relations. Business now calls in the public relations counsel to advise it, to interpret its purpose to the public, and to suggest those modifications which may make it conform to the public demand. --Edward Bernays, Propaganda (1928)

#Britain’s #media regulator #Ofcom under pressure to investigate #GBNews interview with #Trump after complaints it contained misleading & inaccurate claims the network failed to challenge

#FarRight channel claimed a world exclusive sit-down interview with Trump in Nov1, in which Trump asserted human-induced #ClimateChange was “a hoax” & that #London had no-go areas for #police & that the capital had “ #sharia law ”

And re: the "Vichy media":

"These networks are set up for the viewing pleasure of the monied classes, the political classes, and that’s just about it. The partnership between the wealthy and the fascists was always going to be accompanied by an environment where we know we’re not getting the full story and are, instead, being fed a constant and unending stream of bullshit.

Luckily, people are waking up to this."

Bulgaria joins the Eurozone despite pro-Russian disinformation.

Bulgaria became the 21st member of the Eurozone on Thursday, completing a long-sought step in its European integration despite years of political instability and pro-Russian campaigning against the move.

The prolonged absence of a stable government has also undermined official efforts to defend the changeover.

@eddiebbot 2/2 the public will understand and accept it. It must dramatize its personality and interpret its objectives in every particular in which it comes into contact with the community (or the nation) of which it is a part. --Edward Bernays, Propaganda (1928)

The traitorous & xenophobic #TrumpRegime is fully fascist on NYE,🚨their leaders only care about making America, white & compliant.

“The entire U.S.🚨foreign-born population is only 45 million people, so this ridiculous edge-lord post by taxpayer-funded trolls is suggesting deporting 55 million native-born citizens.”

Not Knowing One's Ignorance and Exploiters
A lack of awareness of what one does not know makes one vulnerable to exploitation and attracts exploiters.

@eddiebbot 2/2 of twenty years ago would take place and the public would rise and try to throttle big business with restrictive laws. Business is conscious of the public's conscience. This consciousness has led to a healthy cooperation. --Edward Bernays, Propaganda (1928)
