The deliberate production of ignorance

Agnotology, says Wikipedia, is the study of culturally induced ignorance or doubt, particularly the publication of inaccurate or misleading scientific data. 

Examples of the deliberate production of ignorance:

• the tobacco industry's conspiracy to manufacture doubt about the cancer risks of tobacco use
• the debate in climate science that we don't have enough evidence yet, we need more research, etc 
• 'The Myth of “Broken Britain”: Welfare Reform and the Production of Ignorance' by Tom Slater, 2012

I guess Adorno would claas these as products of the culture industry.
