Waking Times - 9/16/13, Alex Pietrowski, Staff Writer
Recently on Fox News, Alex Epstein, the founder of the Center for Industrial Progress [2], and author of the book, Fossil Fuels Improve the Planet [3], argues in favor of hydraulic gas fracturing, or fracking, as it has become known. This is the technique of extracting natural gas and oil from layers of underground shale rock by pressure-injecting an undisclosed mixture of water and chemicals deep into the ground.
This particular segment serves as an outstanding example of what corporate propaganda [4] looks like and how the media triggers our cultural programming to stimulate fear/desire conditioning, in order to persuade us into conforming to a selected position on an issue.
