It never ceases to amaze how the Republicans can promote outright lies, with straight faces no less, and then figure if they repeat the lies often enough, spoken with indignity and raw emotion, that the public will buy it (as they often times do). PURE UNADULTERATED PROPAGANDA. And since the corporate masters have full control of the media, they can disseminate the Republican propaganda ad nauseum until you start to question your own sanity.
Is there any end to this filth?
"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." Source: Garth S. Jowett and Victoria O'Donnell, Propaganda And Persuasion, 4th edition, 2006.
Propaganda is a concerted set of messages aimed at influencing the opinions or behavior of large numbers of people. Instead of impartially providing information, propaganda in its most basic sense presents information in order to influence its audience. The most effective propaganda is often completely truthful, but some propaganda presents facts selectively to encourage a particular synthesis, or gives loaded messages in order to produce an emotional rather than rational response to the information presented. The desired result is a change of the cognitive narrative of the subject in the target audience
