Transcript
quote from Chomsky’s more recent book on media,
Media Control: The Spectacular Achievements of
Propaganda (2002, second ed.)
• “The point of public relations
slogans like ‘Support our
troops’ is that they don't mean
anything... That's the whole
point of good propaganda. You
want to create a slogan that
nobody's going to be against,
and everybody's going to be for.
Nobody knows what it means,
because it doesn't mean
anything. Its crucial value is
that it diverts your attention
from a question that does mean
something: Do you support our
policy? That's the one you're
not allowed to talk about.”
