Page 12 - Myths for the Masses An Essay on Mass Communication
P. 12

The media of public communication . . . constantly
                  profess their adherence to the individual’s ultimate
                  value and his inalienable freedom, but they tend to
                  forswear such values by fettering the individual to
                  prescribed attitudes, thoughts, and buying habits.
                                                   Max Horkheimer, 1941
