Abstract
The anti-democratic phantom lurking behind, or prior to, the United States' democratic stance is invoked by Roberto Grandi's circumspect contextualising of more than a century's interrelations between media and conflicts. Grandi's essay is a critical re-mapping on the ways in wich the democratic superpower obtains and maintains the consensus of its population in favour of its war effort through media manipulations. Grandi's exploration starts with the Crimean War and cioncludes with the post-Gulf War II Iraq conflict tracing of the way the media both document and aid the propaganda efforts of the democratic powers. But even media machinations cannot and will not contropl indefinitely or without impunity the otherwise verifiable documentation upon wich "authentic" journalism is foundedI documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
