Another criterion

edit

I seem to remember a political criterion by which white noise is an utterance which makes sense, though it might be insincere, and you know where it's 'coming from.' Gray/Grey noise is meaningful but unattributed; black noise is meaningless. Example: If a dictator issues a glowing statement about his country's progress in the government-controlled papers, that's white noise: white because it makes sense and you know who said it; noise because it isn't true. If you tune in on a 'pirate radio' broadcast, it's gray noise--the words make sense, but you don't know whether it's true or not because you can't tell who is responsible for it. Black noise, I guess, is just meaningless static, perhaps meant to jam broadcasts of the other two types. Does anybody have any references for anything like that??
