O'Dwyer's PR Daily [http://www.odwyerpr.com/members/0410propaganda.htm notes that], in addition to the New York Times [[Fox News]] was targeted with [[Psyops]]. Fox "ran a video of the atrocities committed by [[Saddam Hussein]] that it received from the Pentagon's psychological operation corps."
I'm not sure which bothers me more: the impact on regular content (that is, words and subject matter) or the impact on design (via stock photos and other artwork). The availability of art drives so many decisions about story play and design, and I've seen well-done artwork, supplied by PR departments, drive the entire content of features pages. In a culture where design often has more impact than articles, I have to wonder.
I interviewed Alex Avery at the Avery Farm in Swoope, Virginia on March 13, 2006 and have an appointment to interview him again, along with his father Dennis, on March 31 (father and son share an office on the basement floor of the farmhouse where the father lives; Alex lives in town). A propos of nothing, Alex volunteered the information that he did not earn a doctorate from Purdue -- he mentioned something vague about his advisor's being mired in academic bureaucracy or something along those lines. At the time, I had no suspicions about his credentials.
Alex was kind enough to print off for me a copy of the ms. of his forthcoming book, The Politically Incorrect Guide to Organic Food. It is crudely illustrated with cartoons of evil organic farmers and is full of straw man arguments and caricatures of enviromental extremists and food faddists.
Oddly enough, at the beginning of the book, Alex takes on Goethe (of all people) in a way which makes clear that he has no clear idea of who Goethe was. In conversation he mispronounced the name, and I politely corrected him.
He was very cordial, and spoke with me for about two hours, but I sensed that much of his conversation consisted of a series of memorized talking points, many of which, I find, show up almost verbatim in his father's latest book, Saving the Planet with Pesticides and Plastic.
I would be most eager to learn more and share more information.
