On this edition of The Geopolitical Report, we examine the role the establishment media and government play in formulating and disseminating war propaganda. Beginning with the Spanish-American War and the First World War, propaganda became more prevalent and sophisticated, especially after the introduction of the propaganda and public relations techniques of Edward Bernays. Bernays said propaganda is an essential tool in modern society and is considered “the executive arm of the invisible government.” We also take a look at the success of the modern corporate media in shaping consensus for war through fabrication, lies, half-truths and omission and how these techniques resulted in over fifty percent approval of President Trump's recent attack on Syria.
