« Luck is even more opposed to the just theory of each language that can appear in the head of a four-year-old. And Peirce continues: "Man has a natural inclination to imagine correct theories of all species. . . . If man was not endowed with a mind adapted to his needs, he would never have been able to acquire any knowledge. At our case, it seems that knowledge of a language - a grammar - can only be acquired by a "pre-endowed" body with a severe restriction on the form of grammar. »

« In the case of the Central American elections, the U.S. government provided both the facts and the instruments appropriate to their "correct" analysis - the mainstream media merely relaying information and ensuring that the government line was not seriously challenged. With the attack on Pope John Paul II in May 1981 in Rome, and the accusations involving the Bulgarians and the KGB, in a conspiracy, it was the mass media that lit the fuse and played the main role in the maintenance of this burning from start to finish. The general scheme offers similarities: a frame of reference is installed around the attack that gives it the useful interpretation desired by the dominant "elite" of the time. The campaign put in place is re-listening to the public with usable propaganda that ignores other alternatives: sources suggesting other approaches to the subject are excluded from the mainstream media. Some facts are s e l e c ted and incorporated into the framework while others, which could affect the validity of the whole, are discarded. (...) What makes the "Bulgarian line" so typical as an illustration of the workings of the propaganda model is that there is nothing credible in this case which, from the beginning (i.e. long before the Rome trial) looks like a farce - taken seriously by the media until the end. »
