Democrat Vs Republican Beliefs

Kathleen Said:

Why is this country so divided?

We Answered:

You can thank the mass media for that. It has divided this country and that's its job to spread misinformation and propaganda. Techniques used to instill fear, hatred and any other emotion are used all the time by the media. Some examples are scapegoating, labeling, appeal to authority, appeal to fear, appeal to prejudice, Half-truth, Glittering generalities and so on. The government takes advantage of the gullibility of people, to further their political agenda.

"Propaganda is the deliberate, systematic attempt to shape perceptions, manipulate cognitions, and direct behavior to achieve a response that furthers the desired intent of the propagandist."

—Garth S. Jowett and Victoria O'Donnell, Propaganda and Persuasion
