Intentional Allegiance to Evil
RECEIVED Wed., March 6, 2019
Dear Editor,
I have been using your publication to search out entertainment for many years. I recently made the mistake of reading some of the articles.
I will not use your periodical any longer. The stuff you try to pass off as journalism and news is more editorial opinion submissions and lacks the qualities that make journalism a valuable resource. This is exacerbated by your opinions.
It is evident that facts and logic are being omitted. If you truly believe the things you write, something has gone terribly wrong. I suspect this is not the case and that you are simply attempting to utilize the gullibility and receptivity of the public to accomplish an agenda. That disqualifies the writers as journalists and/or reporters and puts you into the column Edward S. Herman and Noam Chomsky defined as the "propaganda model" in their book Manufacturing Consent.
From studying the works of Edward Bernays and Walter Lippmann, it appears you and/or your bosses are adept practitioners of the techniques they pioneered along with others in the early 1900s.
You might think you are not doing something that is wrong, but I doubt it. Self-acknowledged and intentional evil is more likely.
If you are not doing what you are doing with full awareness, maybe you shouldn't do it. Too many people doing things when they don't know fully what they are doing is what has given us the world we have today. Well, that and intentional allegiance to evil.
