on the topic of capture:

an example of ideological capture from one of my notebooks:

\"Friedman's column in this weekend's New York Times is, characteristically, a Panglossian panegyric to online technology as the salve to all economic problems.\"

Pangloss is from Voltaire's Candide according to my notes which i wouldn't lie to myself about so that's probably true. i have not confirmed it. i have not read Voltaire's Candide.

panegyric - formal or elaborate praise, formal speech of praise

again, from my notes, i dont have access to that word on the day to day
