This research paper aimed at distinguish between controlled knowledge and free knowledge, and to analyze the "complementary" relationship between these institutions, to formulate the "official truth" and establish it as an indisputable reality through the use of the language of science and numbers, and with the help of persuasion strategies and tools.
Hence, it has become difficult to talk about the neutrality and objectivity of the media, which determines what should be published and what should be ignored, and even how it should be published, according to mechanisms of deletion, amplification, marginalization, and selection, in the context of achieving the greatest possible conquest of minds and ideas.
Government interests required controlling media elites and creating complete harmony between their goals and the outcomes provided by the media, even if this meant resorting to distorting facts. During the aggression on Gaza, the false "official truth" clearly emerged through close cooperation between governments, Western and Arab media elites, and research centers affiliated with the interests of dominant states.
In conclusion, the research sought to present a practical model, and there are many examples in this context, not only at the political level, but also at the economic, cultural, and social levels.
