How Media deceives the public


Intentional Causes

  • Astroturfing
  • Exploiting ignorance
  • Exploiting legitimate desire
  • Misdirection
  • Omission
  • Forced narratives: They only want that because you told them that's what they want

-- More than ignorance, ignorance with a desire?

  • Hype

Unintentional Causes (may be intentional)

  • Fake News
  • Targeting issues

Fake News aka Manufactured Realities


Fake realities as a book of AI-generated art trying to mimic reality. Creates a kind of uncanny valley

Educated people are the biggest fools


Harm to the public
