Nancy Snow, author of Propaganda, Inc. [3] and the upcoming Information War: American Propaganda, Opinion Control and Free Speech Since 9/11, gives a broad-ranging interview about how the current U.S. propaganda war is playing out. "Since World War I, advertising has mixed with selling war, foreign aid, and even cultural exchanges. ... This is what the U.S. is to the world—the ultimate salesman," she says. "We appear to the world like the world's Barnum & Bailey, and remember what P.T. Barnum said, 'A sucker is born every minute.' ... The propaganda message is that no really, we're the greatest nation on earth, perhaps in P.T. Barnum's view, the greatest show on earth. I think the world's people and its press are becoming weary of this refrain."
