On his show “Redacted Tonight” on RT America comedian Lee Camp showed precisely how the media manufactures America’s consent for war. The percentage of Americans supporting bombing soared after the corporate media began their onslaught of fear. Camp also gives some creative ideas on what these impressive powers of influence could be used for OTHER than bombing and destruction. He recommends they be put towards slowing our ravenous consumerism or getting people to consider what really matters in life. If the media’s 24/7 cycle were used for positive ideas instead of fear and anxiety, we would quite possibly live in a very different world. (Lee Camp is the host of “Redacted Tonight,” which airs every Friday at 8pm ET.)
