Noam Chomsky, one of the most important intellectuals in life today, listed the ten strategies of manipulation through the media.

1 / The strategy of distraction

A primary element of social control, the strategy of diversion is to divert public attention from important issues and changes decided by political and economic elites, through a continual deluge of distractions and trivial information. The strategy of diversion is also essential to prevent the public from being interested in essential knowledge, in the fields of science, economy, psychology, neurobiology, and cybernetics. “Keeping the public's attention distracted, away from real social issues, captivated by matters of no real importance. Keep the audience busy, busy, busy, with no time to think; back to the farm with the other animals. ” Extract from "Silent Weapons for Quiet Wars".

2 / Create problems, then offer solutions

This method is also called "problem-reaction-solution". First, a problem is created, a "situation" intended to elicit a certain reaction from the public, so that the latter himself is requesting the measures that one wishes to make him accept. For example: to allow urban violence to develop, or to organize bloody attacks, so that the public is asking for security laws to the detriment of freedom. Or again: create an economic crisis to make people accept the decline in social rights and the dismantling of public services as a necessary evil.
