Propaganda model

One-sided article that presents a theory in an uncritical or supportive light. 119 19:45, 25 Dec 2004 (UTC)

I think that it presents the theory fairly clearly and it's well structured. Adding a little graphic that shows at a glance how the model works would be the cherry on top. MikeCapone 22:47, 30 Dec 2004 (UTC)

"In an industrialized economy where consumers demand information about multiple global events, this task can only be filled by the corporate sector which has the necessary material resources. This includes mainly The Pentagon and other governmental bodies." I don't understand. If only corporations have the resources to handle this sort of stuff, why does that then include the Pentagon and govt bodies? They aren't corporations. Well, most of them anyway. - Ta bu shi da yu 06:16, 21 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Formally speaking, the Pentagon and govt bodies are not corporations. However, if you look at individuals' careers, you'll see that the top managers/politicians/bureaucrats often transfer from "private" corporation to Pentagon/govt or the other way around. Try listing the members of the Bush administration (or Clinton administration) who are or were major shareholders or members of executive boards or senior employees of corporations. Just one example: Condoleezza Rice had an oil tanker named after her by the corporation Chevron. People who have worked and built good personal relations in organisation X over many years do not totally cut off these relations when they shift to organisation Y. These extremely close personal relations are just one example of the close links between corporations and govt. Boud 00:00, 11 October 2005 (UTC)
