This page provides links to a variety of sources of reliable, verifiable information showing how the media influences and manipulates public perception. Our most basic material is listed first, followed by other resources which delve deeper for those interested in more.

Mass Media Information Summaries: For the best, most concise introduction to mass media manipulations, we highly recommend our media summaries. In these fact-filled summaries numerous award-winning journalists vividly describe their experiences of trying to report major news stories, only to have them systematically shut down by corporate media ownership. The stories include dangerous hormones in your milk, the shooting down of TWA Flight 800 by the military, thousands of POWs abandoned in Vietnam, CIA involvement in the narcotics trade, and lots more. These captivating stories will help you to understand how the many cover-ups mentioned on WantToKnow.info are suppressed, and how the mass media can significantly affect our understanding of what's happening in the world.

Best Free Video Showing Media Manipulation: The Power of Nightmares is a revealing BBC documentary that digs deep into the roots of the war on terror, only to find that much of the widespread fear in the post 9/11 world has been fabricated by those in power for their own interests and spread through the media. The intrepid BBC team presents highly informative interviews with top officials and experts in combating terrorism who raise serious questions about who is behind all of the media fear-mongering. This eye-opening documentary shows that, especially after 9/11, fear has been used in the media to manipulate the public into giving up civil liberties and turning over ever more power to elite groups with their own hidden agendas. The Power of Nightmares clearly demonstrates that the nightmare vision of a powerful, united terrorist organization waiting to strike our societies is largely an illusion. For all citizens who care about the future of our world, this is a must-watch video.
