Increasingly, people have very little tolerance for anything that smacks of propaganda.

Social media campaigns and the savviness of ISIS and propaganda is what greatly concerns us Homeland Security officials.

I can assure you that I have never used my media companies for propaganda, and I will never do so.

Unfortunately, the attitude of many towards the press, humanitarians included and especially government workers, is often one of suspicion, if not outright fear.

The media dwells mostly on negativity.

When governments rely increasingly on sophisticated public relations agencies, public debate disappears and is replaced by competing propaganda campaigns, with all the accompanying deceits. Advertising isn't about truth or fairness or rationality, but about mobilising deeper and more primitive layers of the human mind.

I think the media is a fear-mongering operation. They love to rile their viewership up or to scare them.

Advertising people who ignore research are as dangerous as generals who ignore decodes of enemy signals.

We all have our likes and our dislikes. But... when we're doing news - when we're doing the front-page news, not the back page, not the op-ed pages, but when we're doing the daily news, covering politics - it is our duty to be sure that we do not permit our prejudices to show. That is simply basic journalism.

I don't think it is deniable: whenever we, I, conservative media, are really interested in something, the mainstream media purposely avoid it.
