Gentiloni: "La disinformazione mina la democrazia"»
la disinformazione da parte di chi? ...dei Terrapiattisti & Co.?!? --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- ‘(a) democracy implies consent, (b) consent is meaningless if not informed, and (c) informed consent implies truly independent media. That last we do not have when they are “large corporations selling privileged audiences to other large corporations” [quoting Noam Chomsky].’ --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- [...]
Il coordinatore dell’evento Gianni Riotta, [...] “Lavoreremo per insegnare a distinguere il vero dal falso” – ha dichiarato – “e se qualcuno pensa che il problema non sia diffuso basti pensare che il 20% dei cittadini americani non crede alla scienza, il 50% dei cittadini britannici non crede alla stampa insieme al 48% degli americani e il 42% degli inglesi pensa che il governo menta.

Che branco di malfidenti, come si permettono?!? «Gaslighting The Public: Serial Deceptions By The State-Corporate Media» https://www.medialens.org/2021/gaslighting-the-public-serial-deceptions-by-t... --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- Media Lens has documented and explained over the past two decades how ‘objectivity’ and ‘impartiality’ are alien concepts to state-corporate journalism. As the US commentator Michael Parenti once noted: ‘Bias in favor of the orthodox is frequently mistaken for “objectivity”. Departures from this ideological orthodoxy are themselves dismissed as ideological.’ Similarly, Matt Kennard, head of investigations at Declassified UK, a vital resource for independent journalism, put it well: ‘If you’re sympathetic to the weak, it’s activist journalism. If you’re sympathetic to the powerful, it’s objective journalism.’ The public are, in effect, constantly being subjected to gaslighting by corporate journalists purporting to inform the public what is happening around us. We are being told, explicitly and implicitly, that nothing is fundamentally wrong with the system of economics and power politics that prevail in the world. [...] In fact, ‘mainstream’ news is characterised by serial deceptions and omissions that hide essential truths about the world. We are being drip-fed propaganda that preserves the current inequitable system of power, privilege and class – even as we hurtle towards the abyss of climate chaos. Any one of the topics addressed here could merit a media alert in its own right. Indeed, in each case, we have done so several times before. The objective here is to provide something of an overview of the propaganda system --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- L'articolo elenca (parte del) la propaganda recentemente propinata attraverso TV e giornali mainstream è significativo e si aggiunge all'interminabile elenco "delle propagande" scolpito nella Storia.
