Propaganda is to democracy what the bludgeon is to a totalitarian state.
— Noam Chomsky, 2002
The conscious and intelligent manipulation of the organized habits and opinions of the masses is an important element in democratic society. Those who manipulate this unseen mechanism of society constitute an invisible government which is the true ruling power of our country.
— Edward Bernays, 1928
