Taking a look at the documentary control room and reflecting upon it I agree with the following proposed statement “Deception is just as bad as telling an outright lie”. Taking a look at the statement it could be viewed that deception might be used in a positive manner yet if you think about it it is still a lie that may lead to affect a person or a whole community in a negative manner. Taking a look at this perspective it could be viewed that the Iraq war was a reference of direct perception in which the government used propaganda as a form of deceiving their citizens into believing it was a ‘good’ war in order to gain support and allow for the public to agree with its own government.
Essentially, deception was taken into consideration in this context causing to impact the view of US - Iraq war as it had caused to alter the thoughts of people around the world. Taking a look at it in this context it could be noted that an outright lie is simply as bad as deception because the ideologies and perspectives were change due to media delivered to them. This would potentially lead to disturbance amongst the nation once they understand they have been deceived or lied to. Hence in my opinion I think that governments should place and deliver the information to the public to avoid riots or oppositions.
