It shows, HOW they lie to us, the purposes of their lies, and puts it in historic perspective, beginning with the Freudian exploits of Edward L. Bernays, widely regarded as the \"Father of Spin\". Many are already aware of this background on the development of control of the masses through manipulation of public opinion, but for those out there still curious, confused, perplexed, etc. by the media's abilities to decieve, the following website should help clear things up. If nothing else, it makes a very good case for the legitimacy of Indymedia and other Democratic alternatives stressing free speech and freedom of thought, in hopes the truth will come out(as much as possible). This article should also demonstrate a rule that should apply when using ALL media: read and decide for yourself!<\/p>\n","contact":"","link":"http:\/\/mercola.com\/2001\/aug\/15\/perception.htm","address":"","phone":"","parent_id":0,"mime_type":"text\/plain","summary":"   Most of us pretty much know how the corporate media lies to us.
