    Pretty interesting, though nothing startling new. I watched "The War You Don't See" a few days ago and this one has a lot of overlap with what John Pilger was saying in that, especially regarding the manufacturing of news and consent. Have you seen that?

    Also, you might be interested in "Propaganda" by the French philosopher Jacques Ellul. I can't vouch for it in its entirety because I haven't finished it yet, but maybe it's worth a blog post...?

    I haven't seen that yet, but I've definitely been trying to recently; John Pilger is one of my favorite journalists. I will check out "Propaganda".

    These two films (Psywar and Human Resources) were somewhat entertaining, but not very enlightening to me, either.
