Mass Media
Information Summaries: For the best, most concise introduction to mass
media information, we highly recommend our media summaries. In these fact-filled
summaries numerous award-winning journalists vividly describe their experiences
of trying to report major news stories, only to have them systematically shut
down by corporate media ownership. The stories include dangerous hormones
in your milk, the accidental shooting down of TWA Flight 800 by the military,
thousands of POWs abandoned in Vietnam, CIA involvement in the narcotics trade,
and lots more. These captivating stories will help you to understand how the
many cover-ups mentioned on WantToKnow.info are suppressed, and how the mass
media can significantly limit our understanding of what's happening in the
world.

Video Showing Media Manipulation: The Power of Nightmares is a
revealing BBC documentary that digs deep into the roots of the war on terror,
only to find that much of the widespread fear in the post 9/11 world has been
fabricated by those in power for their own interests and spread through the media. The intrepid BBC team
presents highly informative interviews with top officials and experts in combating
terrorism who raise serious questions about who is behind all of the media fear-mongering.
This eye-opening documentary shows that, especially after 9/11, fear has
been used to manipulate the public into giving up civil liberties and turning
over ever more power to elite groups with their own hidden agendas. The
Power of Nightmares clearly demonstrates that the nightmare vision of a powerful,
united terrorist organization waiting to strike our societies is largely an
illusion. For all citizens who care about the future of our world, this is
a must-watch video.
