  • Encore War Journalism and Propaganda - The embedded deceit of Oedipus

    Encore War Journalism and Propaganda - The embedded deceit of Oedipus
    2022/08/24
    War zones since the early 2000s have challenged the core principles of modern journalism and prompted a reexamination of the role of war journalism during violent conflict. In recent years, the esteemed values within journalism such as objectivity and detachment which aimed to create a balanced coverage of victims and aggressors alike, have been downgraded by many media commentators This episode briefly explores the history of conflict coverage by focusing on two key aspects; The use of propaganda in war journalism and a more recent concept called embedded journalism. Embedded journalism refers to news reporters being attached to military units during armed conflicts. From the media perspective, the privileged access offered by embedding, creates a standard of openness in journalism, helping to appraise the public of military action in foreign wars. There is also a strong willingness by the military to maintain an embedded program because of the potential for garnering public support. Nevertheless, it remains completely subservient to the operational objectives of the military and thus its scope is narrowed. This has led to accusations of one-sided reporting because it concentrates on state and military matters. Since its full scale introduction in the 2003 Iraq war, the program has been dogged by questions of impartiality. How can a journalist who lives, travels and relies on military protection be claim to be unbiased in their reporting? which ultimately calls into question the reporter’s objectivity. Warfare has a long history of requiring the backing of public support, and great effort is involved to shape public opinion and convince domestic populations to accept the actions of their governments in a given conflict. As such, the visual media’s unique power of influence also makes them more likely to deploy propaganda techniques during military conflicts. Equally, warring parties resort to even greater effort to influence, steer, and control the distribution of visual images and journalist reporting at an international level. For the mass media, war by its very nature is highly newsworthy. War journalism attracts large audiences and engages people, very deeply at an emotional level. The media will often present conflicts as a win-lose scenario in which an idealized, positive ‘self’ defeats the demonized, negative ‘other.’ War journalists are trained to construct news in a simplified narrative form, based on their existing belief systems. Often this is manifested as the evil “un-democratic” antagonist facing off against the virtuous, democratic protagonist. This classic media framing technique is used to exploit cultural and psychological values of news audiences. How can we evaluate whether the public is truly benefiting from war journalism through the practice of embedded reporting? Because during conflict coverage, there is always an imbalance of shared information between the state and its public, meaning new audiences lose the most.

  • Encore The die is cast-The Firestorm of Dark Alliance and CIA Complicity

    Encore The die is cast-The Firestorm of Dark Alliance and CIA Complicity
    2022/08/17
    In this episode we examine a unique type of reporting called investigative journalism, requiring unbridled courage, integrity and sacrifice from certain journalists to bring stories of major significance to public attention. In their role as watchdogs, investigative journalists play a crucial role in placing greater scrutiny on the abuses of power and influence. One of the most famous examples in recent memory includes “The Watergate Scandal” in 1972, which led to the resignation of President Richard Nixon in 1974. However in this episode, we focus on the crusading work of one such journalist, Gary Webb and his subsequent demise at the hands of the established elites of his own industry. He was an award winning investigative journalist best known for his 1996 series of articles in the San Jose Mercury News, entitled “Dark Alliance-The Story behind the Crack Explosion.” Webb’s expose revealed that the CIA helped to initiate America’s crack cocaine epidemic in the early to mid 1980s. This elaborate scheme involved drug traffickers linked to the Contras (a CIA-backed guerrilla army in Nicaragua) who were plotting an attempted coup of the socialist Sandinista government. The proceeds of this illicit operation were used to fund the contras, while the imported cocaine worth millions of dollars were destined for the most impoverished cities in America. His series sparked public outrage, not only about the American government’s role in drug trafficking, but also because low income black neighbourhoods, in the south-central area of Los Angeles were the prime targets. It made a mockery of the US government’s highly celebrated “war on drugs” policy at home and abroad. We examine the mainstream media’s initial disregard for the story, followed by the outright attack from the “Big Three” major dailies. Webb’s story was discredited with allegations of shoddy reporting and poor editorial practices at the Mercury News. But even more damaging were accusations that “Dark Alliance” was nothing more than a conspiracy theory and the work of an irrational fantasist. Webb’s series was also attacked for lighting the fuse on a widespread sentiment known as “Black Paranoia.” This referred to a federal conspiracy to undermine inner city Black-American neighbourhoods during the 1980s. Also of interest, is how the CIA manipulated its “productive relations” with the press, using its media assets to undermine “Dark Alliance.” We then outline the subsequent demise of Gary Webb, as a result of the shameful attack on his story and subsequent public humiliation. In the final section we explain how Webb’s character assassination was enacted by “weaponizing” the journalistic profession via the concept of legitimacy and autonomy. This raises troubling questions about its legitimacy as a professional platform of discourse and the authority of its “moral badge” of ethics and protocols, which stem from the depth of its obsequiousness and unremitting pursuit of power and status.

  • Encore The Alchemist & His Apprentice - Stagecraft of Media Manipulation

    Encore The Alchemist & His Apprentice - Stagecraft of Media Manipulation
    2022/08/10
    The Alchemist and His Apprentice -The Stagecraft of Mass Media Manipulation In this episode we focus on how the media is manipulated and controlled by governments, corporations and interest groups to further their respective causes. Media manipulation has been used since the early 20 Century in many war theatres by employing sophisticated techniques such as propaganda and perception management. In the modern context, propaganda is used to persuade the public of the merits of a particular course of action. For instance, in the case of questionable wars such as Iraq and Afghanistan, PR firms manipulated the media using standard techniques such as spreading disinformation in order to shape public opinion. We focus on the use of media as a tool of propaganda in the aftermath of the events of 9/11 and the during the second gulf war in Iraq. To this end the media is an essential conduit of information which, when used correctly, represents one of the most powerful weapons the government possesses at its disposal. By communicating messages to the wider population, the media’s role is to imbue individuals with the patterns of behaviour to absorb them into the institutional structures of wider society. The emphasis on message control reflects the intertwining of journalism with the political order, creating an alliance between state-craft and stage-craft. Hence mass media clearly has a pervasive influence on contemporary society. We ask; Why is there is a lack of a critical depth in mainstream media? Or indeed why alternative views are rarely aired (unless there is a motive to ridicule them). Essentially because, media manipulation is related to wealth and power and the dominant elites use television networks and news journalism to maintain their hegemonic position in society. Finally we examine a manipulation technique, referred to by British author and researcher David Icke, as Problem – Reaction – Solution (PRS). Also known as order out of chaos it stems from the philosophical approach of Hegel's Dialectic consisting of an interchange of three stages of development. It involves going from Thesis to Antithesis reverting back again to Synthesis. We provide real life examples where this technique has been used throughout History, resulting in actions or legislation that would never have passed under normal circumstances, based on fear, chaos and disorder. Using this approach we draw parallels with the present Coronavirus, COVID-19 crisis, which appears to invoke the familiar blueprint of the PRS model.
