Raw Story:
24 gives insight into how media can 'coordinate' with government to produce propaganda
A popular television action drama may have given viewers some insight into how the government can coordinate with news media to shape public opinion. In Monday night's episode, the good guys of Fox's 24 tricked the bad guys by getting a local television news channel to broadcast a false report.
Pursuing weapons of mass destruction set loose on New York City, Jack Bauer and the Counter Terrorist Unit (CTU) found themselves needing to mislead terrorists into believing their dead comrade was still alive.
"CTU, this is Bauer. We lost him. Farhad is dead," the nearly super agent portrayed by Kiefer Sutherland said.
But, as always, the hero of 24 had another plan.
