The history of communication basically consisted of speaking and writing the only difference back in the day was the fact that the rich were the ones who knew how to write when the poor did not. In other words, speaking was the first way to communicate but then signs were introduced which communicated meaning on paper that later in the future lead to the history we all know.

As you know the radio and Tv came which became a big part of communication as well. throughout the lecture I did notice the fact that MCchesney main focus was on the media he basically brought up the fact that the media is harmful to the such as their advertising.

Moreover, “Islam” functions as a proganganda tool in the media and news reporting by making Americans fear “Islam” people when in reality we should worry about our own country and start off by fearing the fact that we don’t know who owns the internet. Overall all this proganda helps maintain the current system of political power due to the fact that mostly control most
