What is a propaganda tactic that is heavily used in US media?There are two tactics: one is sensationalism and the other is repetition.Sensationalism is used to distract a media consumer from real news and draw them into meaningless worthless baby food. It seems to work on all levels of society, low and high are all weak against sensationalism.Repetition is a long established tactic. Simply repeating a lie or falsehood eventually induces people from all walks of life to simply accept the false message as fact in spite of often clearly fake intentions.I try so hard to shun those messages that unfortunately I am unable to give examples. Sorry.
What are some of the earliest historical examples of propaganda?
The first time anyone called someone else other than a human being.Some time, long before we had any idea of writing, there were always people willing to believe others were evil. Generally, this meant banishment, then came more dire consequences.The moment you attempt to take away the dignity of another, you lose your integrity, it’s all downhill from there. Now we has mass media telling us all we do is “good”, how much of that “good” left orphans, maimed civilians and so many deaths we can’t get a proper count. Every society is essentially the same, different tactics, same results.
