- (Public Mind: Image and Reality in America with Bill Moyers series, Part 1) Ever since the pioneers of public relations and advertising spoke about the "engineering of consent," social critics have analyzed its effects. For some, it reveals pure manipulation--appropriation of language and meaning, the trivialization of life and thought. For others, it is the dawning of a new era--when the printed word is dead and art and commerce are now joined in ever more sophisticated ways. "The truth is that which sells; if people buy it, it's right." is the advertising ethic that now possesses politics as well as journalism. Americans are increasingly at the mercy of someone else's fiction.
