“Those who read the press of their group and listen to the radio of their group are constantly reinforced in their allegiance. They learn more and more that their group is right, that its actions are justified; thus their beliefs are strengthened. At the same time, such propaganda contains elements of criticism and refutation of other groups, which will never be read or heard by a member of another group...Thus we see before our eyes how a world of closed minds establishes itself, a world in which everybody talks to himself, everybody constantly views his own certainty about himself and the wrongs done him by the Others - a world in which nobody listens to anybody else.”

― Jacques Ellul, "Propaganda: The Formation of Men's Attitudes" 1962

那些閱讀自己群體報紙並收聽自己群體電台的人，其忠誠心不斷被強化。他們越來越多地了解到，自己的群體是正確的，其行動是有正義的；從而加深了他們的信仰。同時，這種宣傳包含對其他群體的批評和駁斥，而這些內容將永遠不會被其他群體成員閱讀或聽到...因此，我們親眼目睹了一個封閉心靈的世界建立起來，一個每個人都在自言自語的世界，每個人不斷地看著自己對自己和他人對自己所做的不公的確信——一個沒有人聽別人說話的世界。

——雅克·埃呂爾，"宣傳：人類態度的形成" (1962)
