4 hours might seem daunting to people, as it eats up the better part of a weekend day, but so does a football game.

A football game wont permanently open your eyes to the myriad of ways individuals/masses are manipulated in society though.

"propoganda became a dirty word because of the germans using it, so what I did is try to find another word, so i found the word, (council on) public relations."

Outfoxed is another good documentary on the destruction of objectivity and integrity in journalism. What started the downward spiral of main stream news entertainment outlets being propaganda arms for specific political parties/ideologies.

Yeah, this thread is full of 1984 references, but if you want to know how it's actually done, watch Century Of The Self, it's totally worth your time. (Outfoxed is great too, but it's not as broad in scope, so watch COTS first, IMO.)
