steveaz, 75:

I offer this to erase the distinction between academe (including the lower primary and secondary schools) and what we usually call media. The two are simply different brands of media, and, if we intend to permanently disable the Left’s juggernaut in this country, we’ll need to disable mind-tricking shell-games like this one.

Yep, both are a part of indoctrination biz. Edu venues lay down the track, and MSM/NME then play it like Stradivarius violin.

Xactly like gramscian manual sez.

By 1979, the whole shebang was essentially in place. That was when Newsweek announced without any hint of shame: “We are not in business of providing news, we are in the business of forming public opinion”. They just needed roughly one generation to be sure the process is completed–e.g. majority is remodeled.

It would be interesting to get a bit of insight what changes in education specifically were put in place in 70′s and 80′s and whether there is not some direct relation to a specific triggers that may have been used by 0 in the campaign.
