Mediji imaju bitan utjecaj na oblikovanje javnog znanja pojedinca te manjih i većih grupa i zajednica. U medijima se tumači prošlost i sadašnjost, predviđa budućnost. Stoga je od strateške važnosti da mediji budu, istinitim, objektivnim izvještavanjem uz primjenu i poštovanje etičkih načela, u službi općih interesa pritom ne zanemarujući interese različitih manjinskih grupacija. Danas su mediji, na žalost vrlo često, u funkciji nametanja percepcije umjesto znanja kao temelja za donošenje odluka različitih ciljanih publika. Percepcija prošlosti i/ili stvarnosti koja se pokušava nametnuti nije ništa drugo nego preoblikovana istina u funkciji onemogućavanja postizanja spoznavanja stvarne istine. Budućnost koja se gradi na percepciji, a ne na znanju o, prošlosti i sadašnjosti jest kula od karata koje je kraj u stvarnoj budućnosti vrlo izvjestan. Nametanje percepcije, ili možemo reći iluzije istine jest jedan od pojavnih oblika u provođenju modernih informacijskih operacija. Ponukani novinarskim prilogom o padu Vukovara koji je objavljen 20.11.2011. u središnjem Dnevniku HRT-a, te mnogobrojnim komentarima u drugim medijima, smatramo potrebnim ukazati upravo na činjenicu da je taj novinarski prilog bio u funkciji nametanja percepcije potpunom distorzijom istine. To ćemo dokazati na jednoj od tema koje se dotaknuo taj prilog: o Optužnici koju je u radijski eter pročitao Siniša Glavašević. Naime, iako ju je pročitao, Siniša Glavašević nije njen autor. Optužnica nije ni zamišljena, ni napisana ni distribuirana u Vukovaru nego izvan njega. Optužnica je trebala biti jedan od elemenata slagalice koja je slagana kako bi se stvorili uvjeti za nasilnu promjenu vlasti u Republici Hrvatskoj., The media have an important influence on the shaping of public knowledge of individuals as well as small and large groups and communities. The media interprets the past and present, predicts the future. It is therefore of strategic importance that the media offers honest, objective reporting with the implementation and observance of ethical principles in the service of general interest without ignoring the interests of various minority groups. Today, the media, unfortunately very often, has a function of creating perception rather than forming the knowledge as a basis for decision making process of different target audiences. Perceptions of past and/or reality that is trying to impose, is nothing else but the transformed truth into the function of preventing achievement of knowing the real truth. Future that is built on perception instead on knowledge about past and present, is an unstable construction which end in the forthcoming future is very likely. The imposition of perception, or we can say, the illusion of truth, is one of the forms in the implementation of modern information operations. Central Daily news of HRT, about the 20th annniversary of the Battle for Vukovar, which was published on 20th of November 2011. and many comments in other media, we consider it necessary to point out the fact that the published story was in a function of imposing a complete distortion of truth. We are going to show it describing the thrue about one of the themes that are touched by published news: the Indictment that was read into the radio ether by Siniša Glavašević. Although he has read The Indictment, Siniša Glavašević not its author. The Indictment was not written or distributed in Vukovar, but outside of it. The Indictment was supposed to be one of the elements of the puzzle that is planed, organised and published trying to create the conditions for violent change of government in the Republic of Croatia.
