Creating News

The Long Road

About this episode

Most of what is on the news is actually created for the purpose of controlling people. Sound like a conspiracy theory? Think again because this admission came from the father of modern propaganda and public relations Edward Bernays who was voted as one of the most influential people of the 20th Century. Here are a few shares on how most news is indeed "created" and what is being done behind the scenes to manipulate people through their emotions.
