This Is How Fox News Brainwashes Its Viewers

[tytlyf]

Ah


Ah so, yes, one should avoid any of that sarcastic
irony on line, poes law and all.

If there were a meter one could use to get a
propaganda rating, aim it left n right,
we'd know who is worse.

I am profoundly unimpressed by either team.

That didn't sound sarcastic.

You were insinuating that liberals never lie so there's no need to use propaganda. Which didn't really make sense.

Propaganda example from RW media:
-Democrats are for OPEN borders, Republicans are for SECURE borders.

Notice you only have 2 options? The viewer will have an emotional reaction that voting democratic means the borders will be wide open. (That's what conservatives believe)

Another example.
-Democrats are wanting to bring in Socialism, Marxism, Communism. Republicans are not. A democratic vote is to destroy America and turn it into Venezuela. A republican vote is to maintain god, love of country, patriotism, etc.

Notice you only have 2 options?

"False Dichotomies (from article)
Creating a false dichotomy is a propaganda technique used to oversimplify complicated issues and force people to believe they have an either/or choice. The group creating the false dichotomy knows many choices are available, but for their message to be successful, they must convince listeners that their choices are limited. Fox News and its talk radio counterparts don’t simply position themselves against MSNBC; they position themselves against literally every other source of information. You can choose the good guy, or you can choose the bad guy. You can get your news from Fox and Fox-approved talk radio hosts (true patriots who are trying to save the country) or you can get your news from the liberal media (deceitful or delusional people who are trying to destroy the country)." Maintaining a false dichotomy is essential for Fox News. If their viewers receive information or analysis from any other group, no matter how apolitical or nonpartisan that group is, viewers will be forced to confront the misinformation that is pressed onto them by Fox News.

Another example.
-Rush Limbaugh, Hannity, Fox, etc always assign a label to the people they're targeting with character assassination. "Crooked Hillary, High-Screwel, Debbie "Blabbermouth" Shultz, upChuck Todd, Lyin Ted, Little Rocket Man, Pencil-neck Schumer, Low-energy Jeb, etc"....lot's more.



Propaganda.

It would be fine if:

1) Fox News viewers even believed in climate change, they don't. Nothing to mislead...

2) Obamacare is ****, other than the provision that makes people who have ongoing medical conditions able to be insured. It doubled the prices of insurance for everyone, and they're still going up.

3) Discrimination isn't race specific. All races experience it. Think you don't? Take your white pasty skin to the south side of Chicago or Dearborn, MI and see what happens. Try to get a job in those regions, I'm sure you'll figure out you can't.

4) The other stuff is irrelevant... Right-Wing or Right-Leaning media is going to invite more guests to talk shows that their viewership is going want to see. CNN doesn't invite right wing personalities to their shows unless they want to have a 5+ gang bang on them. Tit for tat. At least when they invited to a Fox Network program it's one on one and they are given the opportunity to explain their views.

I'm not a "Fox" fan, I just think some of the hosts on there ask good questions. I've never had that impression of other networks. Arguments like they're deceitful about climate change are rubbish if only that anyone doing the work knows the whole angle of that theory is based on information that you can't have. We can't predict the weather more than three days in advance with supercomputers. Climate change was just a re-badge of another bogus concept -- global warming... When it got cooler in the previous decade they had to change the name... Ohh climate change... well yeah... the Earths climate has been changing since the minute it appeared in the the starry sea of blackness.

This kid has me on ignore, but I have to point out how adorably ironic this post is. He provides an example of willful ignorance and scientific illiteracy that only serves to reinforce the OP's point.

And let us not forget how these guys labelled about half of the American public as "deplorables".....oh, wait.....

That's not propaganda. Read the article.

Now, if she ALWAYS referred to conservatives as "hey, you know those deplorable conservatives?" "Those deplorable conservatives sure love the government" These deplorable conservatives don't understand what they're doing."

See the difference?

Uhhh....sure....

One thing you're sorta overlooking here is that the people that you cite are not journalists, they are commentators. Your argument could be easily applied to others such as George Papadopoulos, Mika Brzezinski, Chris Matthews, et al.

Read the article. Propaganda would be like referring to Trump as Deplorable Don whenever someone talked about him. Pure propaganda.

Just to set the record straight, no one said half of the American public was deplorable. Clinton said about half of Trump supporters were deplorable.

Do some quick math, take the number of people who voted for Trump, divide that by 2, and take that number as a percentage of the U.S. population and it comes out at just under 10%. Hillary Clinton said that around 10% of the American public was deplorable.

Math is our friend.

What are you trying to say about George Papadopoulos? Is he working for MSNBC now?

 

[Phantasman]

Do you agree or disagree with the propaganda in the article and it's examples? If you disagree, is it based on the 'progressive left wing?"

It's like trying to find the religious truth of Christ. You first have to see the whole (not just the parts people want you to see). Then by process of elimination what is left is usually the core story. The hookers Trump played with 10 years ago has nothing to do with his ability for success. So I don't waste my time on them. Same with the Donald Jr. meeting. I'm not trying to define Trump. I care how he is effecting my pocketbook and future, opportunities.

My agenda differs from those who are scheming to get rid of him.

If Trump is out (impeachment, assasination, etc.) would you be happy? Would the Dems and Reps come together under Pence? If Pence is gone, Paul Ryan? Face it. You hate the man. Not what he is doing. What he is doing seems to be for the better for "this" country.

I am not on the same playing field you and others here are. You are more involved in the MSM and Congress, both getting low scores from the people (Americans). I'm just not in that game, that's all. I don't start threads. I just comment on them.

On a side note, I found Trumps speech to the steel workers the other night (live) very informative of the man he is, what he is trying to do, and what has happened so far. Fox televised it live. CNN? No. MSNBC?No. Why? They had on pundits complaining about the Trump/Putin meeting, treason, etc. I'm sure they show highlights later with full narratives of what Trumps message means (spin). But why not show the speech THEN comment on the whole?

I don't want people telling me what he said and what it means. I want to hear his words and make up my own mind.

I'm sure you're a nice guy. But just understand, that at 68 years old, I have been through the many people that say "trust me". And can see when someone has their own interest at hand over another's.

Politics isn't even that important to me. Didn't bother me when Obama was in office. I voted for him first time. Disappointed. Now Trump. It's a wait and see. But so far, I can't say he isn't doing what he said he would do. Or doing things he said he wouldn't do.

I'm just amazed at the hatred.

Please move this thread to the jokes area.

 

[Phantasman]

Critical thinking is the enemy of propaganda. Republicans across the nation are trying to eliminate critical thinking classes. Why do you think that is?

What do you mean by critical thing?

That makes it so much better!

You think the number should be higher or lower?

That aint the point

Splain et to me.

The audiesplainis that concocting
a way to reduce-maybe-
the number of people labelled "deplorable"
does not improve the quality of the act.
