Walter Lippmann

"In the past, censorship worked by blocking the flow of information. In the twenty-first century, censorship works by flooding people with irrelevant information. [...] In ancient times having power meant having access to data. Today having power means knowing what to ignore."

"Edward George Ruddy ist tot! Dieser Mr. Ruddy war der Vorstandschef bei Union Broadcasting Systems. Er starb heute Morgen um 11 Uhr an Herzversagen. Und wehe, denn das ist schlimm für uns. Also... Ein kleiner, reicher Mann mit weißem Haar ist tot. Was hat das mit dem Preis für Reis zu tun? Warum ist das schlimm für uns? Weil Sie und 62 Millionen andere Amerikaner mir gerade zuhören. Weil weniger als 3% von Ihnen Bücher lesen. Weil weniger als 15% von Ihnen Zeitung lesen. Weil lhre einzige Wahrheit aus dieser Röhre kommt. Es gibt momentan eine ganze Generation, die nie etwas anderes gewusst, sie etwas anderes erfahren haben. Diese Röhre ist das Evangelium! Die ultimative Offenbarung! Diese Röhre kann Präsidenten oder Päpste bestimmen oder stürzen. Es ist die gewaltigste Macht in dieser gottlosen Welt. Wehe, wenn sie in falsche Hände gerät. Das ist das Schlimme am Tod von Edward George Ruddy. Es bedeutet nämlich, dass sich dieser Sender nun in den Händen von CCA befindet. Der neue Vorstandschef heißt Frank Hackett. Er sitzt nun in Mr. Ruddys Büro. Wenn aber eines der größten Unternehmen der Welt die gewaltigste Propaganda-Maschine der ganzen gottlosen Welt kontrolliert, wer weiß, welchen Scheiß der Sender nun als Wahrheit verkauft? Hört mir also zu! Hört mir zu! Fernsehen ist nicht die Wahrheit. Es ist ein gottverdammter Vergnügungspark. Fernsehen ist ein Zirkus, ein Karneval, eine reisende Truppe von Akrobaten, Märchenerzählern, Tänzern, Sängern, Abnormitäten, Löwenbändigern und Fußballspielern. Wir töten nur die Langeweile. Sucht die Wahrheit bei eurem Gott, euren Gurus, bei euch selbst. Nur dort werden ihr je wirkliche Wahrheit finden. Aber hier? Nie im Leben hört ihr hier die Wahrheit. Wir erzählen euch, was ihr hören wollt. Wir lügen, wie die Teufel. Wir sagen, dass Kojak den Täter immer fängt. Dass bei Archie Bunker nie einer an Krebs stirbt. Und steckt der Held auch in der Klemme – ihr wisst doch: Am Ende der Stunde wird er gewinnen. Wir erzählen euch, was ihr hören wollt. Wir handeln mit Illusionen. Nichts davon ist wahr. Aber ihr, Freunde, ihr sitzt da, Tag für Tag, Abend für Abend, Leute jeden Alters, jeden Glaubens. Und langsam fangt ihr an zu glauben, was wir euch vorgaukeln. Ihr denkt, dass die Röhre real ist und nicht euer Leben. Ihr tut, was euch die Röhre sagt. Ihr kleidet euch wie die Röhre, erzieht eure Kinder wie sie, denkt wie sie. Das ist Massenwahnsinn! Ihr seid doch irre! Um Gottes willen – IHR Menschen seid die Realität! Wir sind die Illusion! Also stellt euren Fernseher jetzt aus. Sofort. Stellt ihn aus! Und lasst ihn aus. Wartet nicht, bis ich meinen Satz zu Ende gesprochen habe. Schaltet ihn aus!"

"Give the people a toy to keep them busy long enough, give them 'political parties'! Then they will waste all their energy and wit on meaningless occupation with individuals and other trivialities. So they won't bother us anymore, and we can run our business at will. But to keep the toy from getting boring eventually and the population's discontent from boiling over, a ritual game with a cathartic function as a pressure valve must be inserted at regular intervals. We call it "parliamentary elections," which sounds important. Then there is peace for the next four years, especially since everyone believes they decided something themselves. The media? They play our game all by themselves—without realizing it. Occasionally we give them a morsel when we want to functionally neutralize a somewhat more alert, and thus unwelcome, person or group. Then they are satisfied, and so is the population; after all, they have something to gossip about. By splitting the voters through the political party system, we can get them to expend their energy fighting for battles over issues of no importance."
Montagu Norman

"If you don't read the newspaper, you're uninformed. If you do read it, you're misinformed [...] One of the effects is the need to be first, not even to be true anymore. So what a responsibility you all have; to tell the truth, not to just be first, but to tell the truth. We live in a society now where it’s just first. Who cares? Get it out there. We don’t care who it hurts, we don’t care who we destroy, we don’t care if it’s true. Just say it, sell it. Just say it, sell it. Anything you practice you'll get good at — including BS."

"We’re dealing with a culture of teenage babies, they can watch TV, do their homework, and listen to music all at the same time. The strongest appeal you can make is emotional. If you can get their emotions going, make them forget their logic…you’ve got them. At MTV, we don’t shoot for the 14 year olds – WE OWN THEM,"

"Our number-one enemy is ignorance. And I believe that is the number-one enemy of everyone. It’s not understanding what is actually going on in the world. It’s only once you start to understand that you can make effective decisions and effective plans. Now the question is: who is promoting this ignorance? […] It is bad media. It really is my opinion that the media in general are so bad we have to question whether the world wouldn’t be better off without them all together. They’re so distortive to how the world actually is that the result is we see wars and we see corrupt governments continue on. One of the hopeful things that I have discovered is that nearly every war that has started in the past 50 years has been a result of media lies. The media could have stopped it if they had searched deep enough — if they hadn’t reprinted government propaganda — they could have stopped it. But what does that mean? Well, that means, basically, populations don’t like wars. Populations have to be fooled into wars. Populations don’t willingly, with open eyes, enter into war. So, if we have a good media environment, we might also have a peaceful environment."

"The very first thing we have to understand is that the mainstream media are not a mirror of reality. Not even a distorted mirror of reality, but provide us with a reality that is constructed according to its very own points of view. Which is made to influence us in a certain way."
Prof. Dr. Michael Meyen
