 | | If the propaganda model is correct, it reflects the interests of media ownership and the profit system, is not offensive to advertisers, is underwritten by information provided by ‘expert’ credible sources (the government, industry, and some members of academia), is not offensive to large groups in society, and reflects a common anti-anticapitalism (or other anti-ideology). | | | Were propaganda control of the media total, then that propaganda would significantly infiltrate the realm of public and private discourse, discouraging the cultivation of the critical attitude, and placing severe constraints on the flow of information to the public, which I have argued is essential for the practice of full moral agency. | | | There are many examples in recent history of how government controlled or privately owned media companies can act as propaganda machines for their owners, even when they operate independently of a market or profit system. |

| | THE PROPAGANDA MODEL: A RETROSPECTIVE BY EDWARD S. HERMAN |
| | The uncritical media reporting and commentary on the alleged urgency of fiscal restraint and a balanced budget in the years 1992-1996 fit well the business community's desire to reduce the social budget and weaken regulation. | | | The dramatic changes in the economy, the communications industries, and politics over the past dozen years have tended on balance to enhance the applicability of the propaganda model. | | | Such debates typically include conservatives, who criticize the media for excessive liberalism and an adversarial stance toward government and business, and centrists and liberals, who deny the charge of adversarialism and contend that the media behave fairly and responsibly. |

| | In Manufacturing Consent, Herman and Chomsky provide a systematic "propaganda model" to account for the behavior of the corporate news media in the United States. | | | The chapter discusses some of the obvious limitations of the corporate media system for the media requirements of a genuinely democratic society and suggests that progressives will have to put media restructuring on their political agendas. | | | Are there are qualifications you would make to the model before you would apply it to media coverage of domestic issues? |

Propaganda, by contrast, seeks to dominate and control people. | | | Secrecy and censorship are intrinsic parts of propaganda, whereas the democratic model value openness over secrecy. |
