Of course we have choice in the matter, I'm just saying that we only get one side of a story, we are much more inclined to believe that side. Even if it's true or not, the whole truth or completely taken out of context.

I am saying propaganda through the media only works if that propaganda is a unified message, like in N. Korea. Everything that goes against that message isn't allowed.
We don't have that in the West. We are told Bush is good, and Bush is bad. The war in Iraq is good and the war is bad. A band rocks or a band sucks. There is no unified message in what we are bombarded with, so any propaganda isn' effective.
