Five filters of editorial bias

The propaganda model for the manufacture of public consent describes five editorially distorting filters, which are applied to the reporting of news in mass communications media:

Size, Ownership, and Profit Orientation: The dominant mass-media outlets are large companies operated for profit, and therefore they must cater to the financial interests of the owners, who are usually corporations and controlling investors. The size of a media company is a consequence of the investment capital required for the mass-communications technology required to reach a mass audience of viewers, listeners, and readers.

The Advertising License to Do Business: Since the majority of the revenue of major media outlets derives from advertising (not from sales or subscriptions), advertisers have acquired a "de facto licensing authority".[7] Media outlets are not commercially viable without the support of advertisers. News media must therefore cater to the political prejudices and economic desires of their advertisers. This has weakened the working class press, for example, and also helps explain the attrition in the number of newspapers.

Sourcing Mass Media News: Herman and Chomsky argue that “the large bureaucracies of the powerful subsidize the mass media, and gain special access [to the news], by their contribution to reducing the media’s costs of acquiring [...] and producing, news. The large entities that provide this subsidy become 'routine' news sources and have privileged access to the gates. Non-routine sources must struggle for access, and may be ignored by the arbitrary decision of the gatekeepers.”

Flak and the Enforcers: "Flak" refers to negative responses to a media statement or program (e.g. letters, complaints, lawsuits, or legislative actions). Flak can be expensive to the media, either due to loss of advertising revenue, or due to the costs of legal defense or defense of the media outlet's public image. Flak can be organized by powerful, private influence groups (e.g. think tanks). The prospect of eliciting flak can be a deterrent to the reporting of certain kinds of facts or opinions.

Anti-Communism: This was included as a filter in the original 1988 edition of the book, but Chomsky argues that since the end of the Cold War (1945–91) anticommunism was replaced by the "War on Terror" as the major social control mechanism.

Yet here we are, our biggest problem is the culture of the left, and that ain’t even so bad. I mean chomphsky is a baller but hey if the same thing keeps happening maybe it’s just nature and you should accept the fact that the majority of folk are bird feed.

NPR: "4 out of 5 jouranlists have a liberal bias" this comes from the state of high education and the type of personalities that want to get into journalism.

when you look at comedy/fiction media youll see that the trend continues, in hollywood you have a simmilar ratio. Look at nightime television, its CLEARLY leaning far to the left. You cant even tell a joke without having to have some kind of message about liberal ideology these days.

John oliver, he's just a propagandaist under the fascad of being a "comedian" that dude straight up brow beats you with his opinion driven idiology that sure, is often funny, but how can you negate the fact that its 100% in line with what democratic agendas?

I get it, he's a lefty, but does he have to be so obvious about it?

The very idea that liberals think that Sinclair media is doing something that CNN NYT HUFFPO MSNBC or any other news organization isnt doing is shockingly laughable. But to pretend that CABLE news isnt what actually what brought the divide into our homes is both wilfully ignorant but it also was literally a leftist idiology 10 years ago: https://www.princeton.edu/~mprior/Pr...nment.AJPS.pdf

All those 24 hour news cycles are what brought this problem. Long ago.

Oh and by the way, since the invention of the printing press, this has been a thing ya nitwits.

The printing press literally started the American revolution, because of biased pamphlets that anti federalists filled the streets with.

Liberals: Stop acting like you are having a revelation about all this shit, "HOLY SHIT GUNS ARE DANGEROUS! HOLY SHIT MEDIA IS BIASED! HOLY SHIT THE SKY IS FALLING"

welcome to adulthood, this all is normal. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
