Propaganda
Propaganda is about selectively presenting information to shape people’s thoughts and feelings about a specific cause or idea.
Journalists often use emotional language and selective reporting to create a narrative.
This matters because Patrick is, in my view, one of the last bastions of real journalism.
Conversation
Establishment media ignores opposing viewpoints and, instead, promotes mainstream narratives such as COVID™ fear porn, deadly viruses, and anti-Russia sentiment.
And anti-China nonsense.
Patrick lists a few propaganda tricks like loaded language, selective reporting, manipulating images, stereotyping and fearmongering.
By the skillful and sustained use of propaganda, one can make a people see even heaven as hell or an extremely wretched life as paradise.
