Thanks a lot for posting!

I would think this problem could be listed in two places in our directory of issues, right off the bat: under "corporate influence," because that is the net result of the propaganda you're talking about -- inordinate influence by corporate entities on the thoughts and attitudes of the populace; and "mass media," because that is the primary mechanism through which the propaganda is delivered. What do you think about listing this in those two places, so people concerned with those two issues will come across your problem?

Propaganda technologies pioneered by psychologists and developed by corporate interests, coupled with media control/diffusion, blocks the population from being reasonably informed on any of these subjects. These powerful techniques and technologies can be resisted by learning to be truly aware of them, how they work, what they look like in our daily experience. But this kind of learning is easily sabotaged by the ingenious propaganda techniques themselves.
