"The most brilliant propagandist technique… must confine itself to a few points and repeat them over and over and over. “ Paul Joseph Goebbels, German politician and Reich Minister of Propaganda.
Immediately after the Nazi’s took power, the Ministry of Public Enlightenment and Propaganda was established. It was responsible for controlling the press and public opinion. Goebbels exerted control over the media and information in Germany.
He openly acknowledged that he exploited the lowest instincts of people – anger, fear, racism, xenophobia, and class envy. Aided by the effects of the Depression and with sober psychological calculation he led the masses wherever he wanted them to go. He was a master propagandist.
Over the past two years, many of the very techniques Goebbels employed have been used to mobilize a discontent and fearful America.

The GOp and Fox News have ben using the same corporatist messages for years.
