Slavery, propaganda, and the American Revolution / by Bradley, Patricia,1941-(CARDINAL)649058;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 159-176) and index.1. The metaphor of slavery.--2. Slave advertising: The colonial context.--3. Flames for the cause.--4. The somerset case.--5. The voices of antislavery.--6. Shame and guilt in the garden of the innocent.--7. The newspaper debate.--8. Insurrection.--Conclusion: Propaganda and patriotism.Under the leadership of Samuel Adams patriot propagandists deliberately and conscientiously kept the issue of slavery off the agenda as goals for freedom were set for the American Revolution. By comparing coverage in the publications of the patriot press with those of the moderate colonial press, this book finds that the patriots avoided, misinterpreted, or distorted news reports on blacks and slaves, even in the face of a vigorous antislavery movement.1470L

War made easy [videorecording]: how presidents & pundits keep spinning us to death / by Alper, Lorettawriterdirectorproducer.; Earp, Jeremywriterdirector.; Killoy, Andrew.; Penn, Sean,1960-narrator.(CARDINAL)353210; Soloman, Norman,1951-authoron-screen participant.;
Editor, Andrew Killoy ; camera, David Rabinovitz ; original music, John Van Eps, Leigh Phillips.Featuring Norman Solomon ; narrated by Sean Penn.War Made Easy exposes how presidential administrations of both parties have relied on a combination of deception and media complicity to sell one war after another to the American people. Narrated by actor Sean Penn, and based on the acclaimed book by Norman Solomon, the film exhumes five decades of remarkable archival footage to reveal in stunning detail how the American news media have uncritically disseminated and glamorized the pro-war messages of successive presidential administrations. The film gives special attention to parallels between the Vietnam War and the war in Iraq, setting government spin and media collusion from the present alongside virtually identical patterns from the past. An invaluable introduction to war propaganda and public relations that transcends partisan politics as it raises serious questions about the tole of journalism and political communication in democratic societies.Grade 9+DVD, Dolby Digital.
