"Propaganda Is More Important Than Fact" Pink Floyd's Roger Waters

"That is where we are living now - where Propaganda is more important than fact, far more important and that is a huge news story now, this whole thing about Fake News is that people have understood that Truth, Facts, Philosophy, Knowledge, History, Education - none of these things are important. In order to retain a position of power you need to be really good at Propaganda and you need to be really good at telling big lies often and loud and the last thing that you want in the mainstream media is anybody shining actual real light on it. So, people who actually care about the predicament of the Human Race or about the future of this small, vulnerable planet or about their fellow human beings
- if they are being oppressed or killed - or anything like that,
it is best to keep them out of the way because they may
interfere with the general narrative."
