“In an ever-changing, incomprehensible world the masses had reached the point where they would, at the same time, believe everything and nothing, think that everything was possible and nothing was true... The totalitarian mass leaders based their propaganda on the correct psychological assumption that, under such conditions, one could make people believe the most fantastic statements one day, and trust that if the next day they were given irrefutable proof of their falsehood, they would take refuge in cynicism; instead of deserting the leaders who had lied to them, they would protest that they had known all along that the statement was a lie and would admire the leaders for their superior tactical cleverness.”
- Hannah Arendt

Here is the UK Newspapers “Editors Code of Practice”. If press regulator IPSO actually enforced it, every UK newspaper would be shut down overnight. @markcurtis30 www.ipso.co.uk/editors-code-of-practice/

21st December Former BBC journalist turned whistleblower calls for Ofcom probe www.thenational.scot/news/18116255.former-bbc-journalist-calls-ofcom-probe-broadcaster/"A “RELUCTANT” BBC whistleblower who said the broadcaster had become so “risk-averse” that its impartiality was being undermined and investigative journalism “endangered” has sent a batch of scripts to regulator Ofcom to back up his claims. John Sweeney, who worked for the corporation for 17 years, listed Newsnight, Panorama and BBC News investigations which he said were either not broadcast or were weakened by management. He told Ofcom he wanted it to investigate BBC News and Current Affairs over films relating to the far-right, Russia and Brexit which were not aired, others which were, but were “improperly compromised”, and senior journalists who had “been allowed to compromise BBC editorial values by taking financial inducements or benefits in kind”."

A ruthless masterclass in media control morningstaronline.co.uk/article/ruthless-masterclass-media-control“To survive and rise in, or on, the ‘game’, you pander to the political prejudice of your paymasters, giving them the stories that you know will make them salivate. “That means putting a sparkling gloss on anything to do with the Conservatives and their policies, whilst denigrating, or ‘ratting’, Labour.” Press coverage of Labour and Kinnock was pretty vile back in 1992 but what we have witnessed in this election is far, far worse. It has been a disturbing experience, especially after reading what can only be described as undiluted propaganda day after day in the bloc of avid Tory-supporting newspapers, which worked closely with the Tory HQ election campaign to maximise the assault on Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn and the Labour Party’s election policies.

"If people in the media cannot decide whether they are in the business of reporting news or manufacturing propaganda, it is all the more important that the public understand that difference, and choose their news sources accordingly. - Thomas Sowell "It is part of the general pattern of misguided policy that our country is now geared to an arms economy which was bred in an artificially induced psychosis of war hysteria and nurtured upon an incessant propaganda of fear." - Douglas MacArthur "One cannot wage war under present conditions without the support of public opinion, which is tremendously molded by the press and other forms of propaganda." - Douglas MacArthur "This is the secret of propaganda: To totally saturate the person, whom the propaganda wants to lay hold of, with the ideas of the propaganda, without him even noticing that he is being saturated." - Paul Watzlawick

"If you want to know about governments, all you need to know is two words: Governments lie." -I. F. Stone
"Look, all administrations, all governments lie, all officials lie and nothing they say is to be believed. That's a pretty good rule." -Daniel Ellsberg
"Lies sound like facts to those who've been conditioned to mis-recognize the truth." -DaShanne Stokes
"The term propaganda rings melodramatic and exaggerated, but a press that-whether from fear, careerism, or conviction-uncritically recites false government claims and reports them as fact, or treats elected officials with a reverence reserved for royalty, cannot be accurately described as engaged in any other function." -Glenn Greenwald

BBC: Brainwashing Britain?: How and why the BBC controls your mind David Sedgwick www.davidsedgwick.co.uk/bbc-brainwashing-britain.html"The people of Britain are under attack. We are being brainwashed. We are being brainwashed completely, ceaselessly and cynically... So just who is doing the brainwashing? How are they doing it and for what purposes? David Sedgwick’s latest book takes the reader on a disturbing journey deep into the realms of mistruth and deception to reveal, for the very first time, the many tricks and subterfuges used by the British Broadcasting Corporation. Every time we engage with BBC content, the author argues, we are exposing ourselves to a very dark art: the art of brainwashing. Wilful, deceitful and incessant, Orwellian parallels define the modern corporation and should chill the soul of all who cherish freedom and liberty. Mind control is here. This is not fiction. BBC: Brainwashing Britain? is a shocking expose of mass propaganda, its components, and aims. You may never look at Auntie in the same way ever again." Quote from Amazon.
