Consent is Manufactured by Media Dynamics

Propaganda tactics in media serve to restrict discussion parameters, thereby effectively manufacturing societal consent. This process is particularly evident in news media, raising questions about whether journalists, like Wolf Blitzer, self-censor to align with corporate and institutional powers. However, the issue extends beyond mere coercion; journalists often internalize the priorities and definitions of newsworthiness that align with their institutions' policies, leading to a more insidious form of control where external oversight is less visible.
