American war propaganda always implies that our ruling class , our plutocracy , is on a higher moral level than other nation-state elites.
American war propaganda always implies that our ruling class , our plutocracy , is on a higher moral level than other nation-state elites. To be sure, our EMBEDDED journalists show a certain perfected moral hypocrisy in their reporting from war fronts. In those elite colleges and universities that they attended they must have taken advanced courses in smug, lying sophistry. At the very beginning of their " successful " careers in " journalism " ( ? ) they signed on as FRIENDS of the capitalist ruling class and ENEMIES of the common people. In all their " smart " articles and columns TRUTH is an annoying antagonist. Only in upper class social circles are they loved and appreciated.
In general , the American ruling class has -in just a few decades - fostered the most docile, subservient, dishonest caste of professional writers , journalists , scholars , and university intellectuals in human history. These are the people hired to sell WAR to the common people of the United States. To use a phrase of sociologist C. Wright Mills , author of " The Power Elite ", their stock in trade is " crackpot realism " - even in the matter of nuclear World War III . Follow THEM ?
