It doesn't get much more clear than this. Bernays, the "father of public relations", was an advisor to CBS founder William Paley. Paley was also a long-time member of the CFR, which has "controlled the public mind" with increasing sophistication to "bind and guide the world" ever since.
Gents, thanks, but Bernays’s work was certainly not lost on me. I don’t see any contradiction here. I think CJ and 2nd have been overzealous, if not in their characterisation of Desmet’s position, then in the significance they ascribe to that particular position, at the expense of all else that the work has to offer. Simple as that. Thanks.
