Examining the images of animal, insect, and disease that shape and limit our understanding of the war, and tying these images to historical and contemporary uses of propaganda and media filters, the authors explore how news media, including political cartoons and talk radio, are enmeshed in this damaging, dehumanizing language. 606 $aMass media$xSocial aspects 606 $aMass media and public opinion 606 $aTerrorism in mass media 606 $aFear 606 $aPropaganda 606 $aSocial control 615 0$aMass media$xSocial aspects. 615 0$aMass media and public opinion. 615 0$aTerrorism in mass media. 615 0$aFear. 615 0$aPropaganda. 615 0$aSocial control. 676 $a070.4/49909831 700 $aSteuter$b Erin$f1963-$01462910 701 $aWills$b Deborah$f1962-$01462911 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910782133503321 996 $aAt war with metaphor$93672064 997 $aUNINA
