TODAY’S WORDS OF WISDOM

Posted on March 9, 2003 by Dave Pollard
“The dumbing down of America is an overt strategy for subverting democracy. You create a society where people look to the corporate media to tell them what things mean because they’re incapable, or believe they’re incapable, of thinking things through for themselves. If you oppress an educated and informed citizenry you get revolution. But if you oppress an uneducated, insecure and uninformed citizenry you get Eminem. And if you’re smart, you can even make a profit from him.”

– Caller to a CBC Radio program on how the media influence culture

“If they can put a man on the Moon, why can’t they put them all there?”
