this is fairly frightening

In mid-January, an underreported political opinion poll provided a
troubling account of the effectiveness of the Bush war machine's
propaganda arm. It was an Orwellian moment, the sort of thing that
should make Noam Chomsky want to sit down and rewrite the epilogue for
the next printing of "Manufacturing Consent." However, as predicted by
Chomsky's media propaganda model, the poll was destined to never really
penetrate the national consciousness. It makes Secretary of State Colin
Powell's Wednesday address to the U.N. Security Council seem like
little more than a theatrical subplot. And it shows clearly what may be
the price of ignorance when the subject is war.
