GLOBAL WAR ON TERRORISM: IMPERIALISM'S NEW MYTHOLOGY


Printed: 321 pages, 6" x 9", perfect binding ($14),

Download: 1 documents, 3378 KB ($5)



Description:


The U.S mainstream media is a major tool in the hands of the power elite; it constructs images of reality that are subsequently widely believed in by the masses, images whose definitions ensure that inequality will continue without revolt or redress. A mythology, garbed in master symbols that contours perceptions of available life-chances regardless of objective fact, it determines relationships between races, ethnicities and nationalities; it makes people chase dreams that most can never attain. So powerful are its effects (as are often revealed by polls after major events about which most people’s only source of information is this media or people exposed to the media), that realities of people’s own lives, the objective facts that confront them on a daily basis, become subordinate to its contrived images

The miserable Chowk staff have banned me yet once again, DELETED MY COMMENTARY ON THE EMERGENCY AND wont let me post anything regarding the emergency anymore. Like Musharraf has blacked out the tv channels, they have blacked out Masadi.
