Progressivism: Journalism, what they think about you, and the manufacturing of consent

Progressivism: Journalism, what they think about you, and the manufacturing of consent:

"Lippmann does not explicitly include journalists themselves as said 'leaders' and 'propagandists', but he doesn't have to. We all see the news and information of today, and we all see how the journalists are using it to their advantage.

He already made it clear that he views portions of the populace as 'mentally children and barbarians', and 'grossly neurotic', why wouldn't those journalists who are so superior to the rest of us not withhold certain information so as to make us more fit for 'democracy'?

And this isn't the worst of it. Lippmann continued this line of arrogance in another book of his, The Phantom Public. Unfortunately, it's still under copyright."
