Close but the string manipulators are a related but different group.
A bit out of favor here on FR:
MANUFACTURING CONSENT
by Herman and Chomsky
The first paragraph of the introduction:
THIS BOOK CENTERS IN WHAT WE CALL A “PROPAGANDA MODEL,”
An analytical framework that attempts to explain the performance of the U.S. media in terms of the basic institutional structures and relationships within which they operate. It is our view that, among their other functions, the media serve, and propagandize on behalf of, the powerful societal interests that control and finance them. The representatives of these interests have important agendas and principles that they want to advance, and they are well-positioned to shape and constrain media policy. This is normally not accomplished by crude intervention, but by the selection of right-thinking personnel and by the editors’ and working journalists’ internalization of priorities and definitions of newsworthiness that conform to the institution’s policy.
FREE and you are giving nothing to Noam Chomsky.
Just read the introduction and preface.

Interesting,
I think That nails It!
It’s not “in You’re Face”
But the constant drone of
Lies and Opinions that
Shape the minds of Sheep!
