we are manipulated isn't by the content of propaganda but by the framing. And in particular, in the way our memory or sense of continuity -- of story -- is disrupted, then manipulated. It's not possible to watch this film and not realize Iraq came from the same template but was framed as a one off event. Just like the Bush torture stories keep being reported over and over as if they are new. It's important to hang onto what we know and to build on it. Propaganda tries to disrupt that process, imho.
