How the media manipulates the public.

1. BEYOND THE HEADLINES
‘UNDER THE INFLUENCE’ OF MASS
MEDIA
Hasan Mohammad

2. Hmm…The Media?
“All over the place, from
the popular culture to
media to the propaganda
system, there is constant
pressure to make people
feel that they are
helpless, that the only
role they can have is to
ratify decisions and to
consume”
Noam Chomsky

3. ‘Bacon’ + ‘Muslim’ = Brainwash

4. Finger licking Bad

5. The Proof is in the Pudding
 Muslim?
 The employee didn’t mention Islam ONCE!
 Did he shout ‘Allahu Akbar’? Nope
 Did he give change with a Quran? Nope
 Ergo, how do we know he is a Muslim???
 Bacon?
 The employee didn’t mention bacon ONCE!
 Thus, how do we know he is angered by
bacon?

6. Syria Mania, BBC ‘Magesteria’

7. Think Again…

8. Reality Check!
 #1 The BBC used a photo without permission
of the photographer
 #2 The Photo was not of what they claimed
(IRAQ not SYRIA)
 #3 A ploy on the public’s emotions and
sensitivities
‘Who’s the
Pinocchio now
BBC?

9. Conclusion (Not the
Classifieds!)
 And there you have it!
The MEDIA Does Influence Public Perception and
Opinion
 ‘Extra, Extra: Think all about it!’
