I am hoping to have one more person take a look at this as well, before I upload. Hopefully, I will be uploading tomorrow evening.
I have put a lot of time into this, I want to get it right. I really think I have.

Post it on FR, or a link to it, and I’d like to read it.

Me three. I am also an author and am skilled at proofreading if you are interested.

Sounds like an interesting thesis. You know, of course, that it will be discredited immediately by the has-been media. Paradoxically, for the very reasons you describe.

I just finished reading John Mosier's "Verdun," wherein he frequently refers to government (in this case, more accurately "military") manipulation of public opinion with the help of a willful press in France (and Britain) during WWI. Nasty stuff. Like today's crop of media lickspittles, early 20th Century journalism in "the civilized democracies" has much to answer for.

This sounds like something that would be incredibly useful.

I’ve done some research myself and I have “found” the very first occurrence of progressive journalism. Ok, well it was written down by some old guy, a Jew no less. Anyway, here it is - see what you think:
Now the serpent was more subtle and crafty than any living creature of the field which the Lord God had made. And he [Satan] said to the woman, Can it really be that God has said, You shall not eat from every tree of the garden?
To: ProgressingAmerica
It will be interesting. Remember media is propaganda not the reporting of acts, conditions or events. There is active suppression by the media creatures(the suppression of physical descriptions of the criminal in crime reporting comes to mind; the transfer of wealth to the administrations buddies, etc. etc. .)/p>
To: ProgressingAmerica
I too look forward to reading your work. Have you consulted Disinformation by Ion Pacepa? Russia mastered the art of government through journalism even at the time of the Tsar, but certainly all through the 20th century.

Very interesting. I'm glad you mentioned Edward Bernays. I think every conservative should be familiar with his work as a partial inoculation against the thought molders.
To: AEMILIUS PAULUS
Yes, Bernays has an important role to play in the context of modern mass manipulation, but since he moved on from journalism and into the CPI in a rather short period of time, and then from there into corporate "Public Relations" (which he states in his own words that he always preferred the word 'propaganda') much of his "work" belongs elsewhere, in another study paper perhaps.
Surprisingly, the BBC's documentary on "The Century of the Self" does a lot to teach about progressivism in the first hour long segment, though they try hard not to. I literally laughed out loud when they glossed over his work at the Committee of Public Information, but its the BBC after all so you have to leave room for such allowances.
Thanks for reading.

As mentioned in the initial posting, I put together a study paper about journalism.
Government by Journalism - The Road to America
Here is a roundup of the copyright expired footnotes:
The Significance Of Mr. Hearst, by Sydney Brooks
The great metropolis; a mirror of New York, by Junius Henri Browne
How we advertised America, by George Creel
The Triumph of an Idea, Harper's Weekly
Helping to Make a President, by William Inglis.
The American Newspaper, by Will Irwin
The Basic Problem of Democracy, by Walter Lippmann (Became chapter 1 of Liberty and the News)
Liberty and the News, by Walter Lippmann
Public Opinion, by Walter Lippmann
Yellow Press Has Served Purpose, by Walter Lippmann (see page 6)
The Associated Press, by Melville Stone
Upton Sinclair to John Beardsley, 1929
The Brass Check, by Upton Sinclair
A Character Sketch of William Randolph Hearst, by William Thomas Stead
Dr Jim and Co. in Holloway Gaol, by William Thomas Stead
The Future of Journalism, by William Thomas Stead
Government by Journalism, by William Thomas Stead
The Maiden Tribute of Modern Babylon, by William Thomas Stead
I aim to make it easy for everybody to look at Journalism's history, examine it, and reference the ways in their own words they have decided to manipulate people. Other footnoted items include Drudge's original article about the Newsweek coverup, an article relating to the JournoList, Nelson Crawford's 1924 book "The Ethics of Journalism", Edward Bernay's book "Crystallizing Public Opinion", and a 1977 book about the Tet Offensive. One item that I did not footnote because it was such a well known story at the time is a small entry relating to Dan Rather's use of fake documents as an effort in Government by Journalism. Many of these and other footnotes are still in copyright, but I cite them briefly and with proper formatting as is common practice for research efforts of this type.

For over one hundred years Progressives have tried to convince Americans that we are the worst people who have ever inhabited the Earth, and that of us all the Founding Fathers were the most evil. They have largely succeeded . . . finally.
Thanks for the BEEP!
