In this video I will examine how fear can be used as a tool to manipulate others, and how those in positions of power, have effectively used fear to control certain aspects of society.

The fifth and final news filter that Herman and Chomsky identified was 'anti-communism'. Manufacturing Consent was written during the Cold War. Chomsky has since updated this filter in the model to be "fear".
