Public Relations. Edward Bernays, the father of PR. (Google him, if there is some odd chance that anyone here doesn't know who he was.) Plain as the nose on your face.

Look it, is everyone forgetting that this earth is surrounded by defense satellites? You do realize that they can read license plates from outer space, right? We've got these mega-sized agencies of NSA and CIA and DIA, and umpteen teams of Special Forces and they don't know where "ISISISISIL" are murdering people on camera?

Amy Goodman (DemocracyNow.org/FreeSpeechTV.org)) and AJAmerica (DISH 215)are probably the only ones who might expose the PR "experts" for what they are. I don't expect that any M$M station, including the cable news channels, will make a peep about it.
