Summary/Abstract: There are two inextricably linked problems to which, in my mind, proper attention has not been paid: one problem concerns the control over the media and accessibility of (un)true information, while the other concerns population to which the said information is conveyed. I shall furthermore try to quote several examples from history indicating how the elite-controlled media concocted so many lies and prejudices to make the vastly illiterate population commit terrible crimes.
