The Crowd Manipulation of Media Bias - How Modern Propaganda and Yellow Journalism Are Disguised as Objective News (Paperback)


Propaganda has antiquated old-war connotations of communism and Nazi control created for the common people by the government. Yellow journalism is a modern version of propaganda that is disseminated through privately owned, often politically-backed, organizations. Both have numerous similarities making the case that propaganda is alive and well around the world, including through the media outlets of the United States.This book explores those overlaps including media bias, crowd manipulation, social influence, lack of objectivity, glittering generalities, and the virtue words of politicians, plus much more.Project Webster represents a new publishing paradigm, allowing disparate content sources to be curated into cohesive, relevant, and informative books. To date, this content has been curated from Wikipedia articles and images under Creative Commons licensing, although as Project Webster continues to increase in scope and dimension, more licensed and public domain content is being added. We believe books such as this represent a new and exciting lexicon in the sharing of human knowledge.
