People are acting domestically and globally, initiating wars, committing murders, overthrowing governments.
What is our knowledge of this and where does it come from? Discussion draws on Lippmann’s 1922 book, Public Opinion.
No language, vocabulary or mental framework for understanding the world is commonly available, and this makes people vulnerable to propaganda and persuasion. Journos were supposed to fill this void, at least in the myths they invented to create an identity for themselves. Yet we see how this plays out: lLarge news organizations, Pulitzer, Herst, Murdoch, GM. Viacom, Disney, etc. enter the void to explain the world but only in small, stupid fragments of simplistic drivel.
The informed citizenry necessary to a democratic state cannot perform their duties under the pressures of mendacity, corporatism and manipulation. Solutions were discussed.
