    I’m out of the loop what’s the council for and why would they want people to think that? What’s in it for them?

      These are very good questions. What is the Council on Foreign Relations and what are its goals & motivations?

      These are questions on the path toward developing real media literacy.

        Maybe I should say I’m not in the US. Media literacy isn’t brand new to me. But the CFR was completely foreign (pun intended), there isn’t quite anything like it where I live.

        Although the propaganda model of Herman and Chromsky quoted in your link is very much a mirror of our media too. (Most notably in our television network, own by a single group)

        If I understood properly that was the point of your sarcastic comment on the CFR right?

          Yes, the CFR is a major coordination org between the Atlanticist corporations, governments, and NGOs, with the US leading, as it does.
