Chenjerai KumanyikaHOST
9:38
And those are the words of people like Edward Bernays, who straight up said that that's what, you know, public relations was.
Chenjerai KumanyikaHOST

I hope, though, that what we've shown with, for example, the example of election coverage in North Carolina and, you know, those facts that were gotten wrong there, that The overall system where, you know, the overall changes in news and capture of news by business makes our news media more vulnerable to propaganda.
