Here is a quote from Bernays:
"The conscious and intelligent manipulation of the organized habits and opinions of the masses is an important element in democratic society. Those who manipulate this unseen mechanism of society constitute an invisible government which is the true ruling power of our country."

The reason it is not a conspiracy theory is because he worked for that invisible government which is the true ruling power of our country. He worked for dozens of major American corporations including the United Fruit Company and General Electric. They were part owners of NBC.
Your mainstream news media is influencing you with propaganda. It is not a conspiracy theory. It is how they control you.
@metal-brain saidIndeed.And you are not influencing anybody, because there is something called "subtility" which totally evades you.

Or does your superior intellect raise you above these control mechanisms?
When I came back to the United States, I decided that if you could use propaganda for war, you could certainly use it for peace. And "propaganda" got to be a bad word because of the Germans using it, so what I did was to try and find some other words so we found the word "councel of public relations".
