Bernays/Lippmann

Based on these quotes from Bernays it is clear to me that Lippmann and Bernays views of society are parallel in many ways. The biggest similarity I was able to pick up on was that both Lippmann and Bernays believe that what we know and believe as individuals comes largely from what we observe and “learn to be true” from others, our media and government. However this way of “knowing” is okay in society because it is our way of organizing such vast amounts of information we are bombarded with each day.
