How American Propaganda Works

From some comments on the Atrios blog, regarding the decision not to show the recent video tape of an American soldier killing a wounded Iraqi person at point-blank range.

Do you see how it works?

We show charred corpses of dead contractors hanging from a bridge for 72 hours straight on cable

We don’t show our boys capping wounded guys lying on the floor in cold blood, or dead Iraqi kids.

Get it?
