PRA Archive #:

Description: 

Political analyst Norman Solomon, co-author of the book" Unreliable Sources," outlines the influence of propaganda in American culture, with the Gulf War as a prime example. We live in a society which is always talking about war, and that dialogue continually prepares us for the next conflict. Even within our homes we are taught to accept authority and deny reality. The media portray gays, lesbians, African-Americans, Latinos, and Native Americans as "special interest groups," while claiming that multinational corporations are not. Through repetition our leadership and institutions are continually relegitimized. He concludes by comparing the killing of 200,000 Iraqi during the Gulf War with the death camps of Nazi Germany.|HOW PROPAGANDA LED US INTO THE GULF WAR / Norman Solomon. - Political analyst Norman Solomon, co-author of the book "Unreliable Sources," outlines the influence of propaganda in American culture, with the Gulf War as a prime example.
