      It very obviously is and entire books have been written on this subject. You could try reading some of them. Can start with Chomsky’s Manufacturing Consent.

        Lots of books have been written about scientology too, appeal to authority won’t fly here.

          I love how you just throw terms around in an attempt make yourself sound smart. Nobody is appealing to authority here. What you’re being told is that you should educate yourself on the subject instead of spewing ignorant nonsense. Read books from people who spent time studying these things, and try to use the few precious brain cells that you possess to comprehend what they say. You don’t have to take them at their word. You can read the supporting evidence they provide, read what other researchers say, and then form an understanding of the subject. Or you could just continue being an ignorant clown.

            Ah, so you want me to prove a negative? Right on!

            PS: rebuttal of appeal to authority with more appeal to authority. Noice.
