I did not write that. However, you might be interested in why Fox News keeps its "news" dumbed down to a bumper sticker slogan.

Here is why:

Quote:
The receptivity of the great masses is very limited, their intelligence is small, but their power of forgetting is enormous. In consequence of these facts, all effective propaganda must be limited to a very few points and must harp on these in slogans until the last member of the public understands what you want him to understand by your slogan. As soon as you sacrifice this slogan and try to be many-sided, the effect will piddle away, for the crowd can neither digest nor retain the material offered. In this way the result is weakened and in the end entirely cancelled out.
~Adolf Hitler, Mein Kampf,translated by Ralph Manheim. Boston: Houghton Mifflin Company, 1943.

Aren't you right-wingers getting bored out of your minds already by this?

Basically, Fox News is desensitizing the public of any of those issues. The result is people just stop caring or listening. Most because of complete boredom.

Case in point: The nonstop topic of the past two weeks is Obama lied about keeping your healthcare.


At what point does repetitive propaganda work to desensitize the public?

Is it propaganda or the truth? You see, the truth knows no timetable. If it's a lie now, it was 2 weeks ago, and will be in 2 more weeks. I guess you're OK with the president lying over and over and over to the American people? Aren't you liberals ashamed of that?

Anytime I flip through the channels and stop briefly at Fox News, I hear someone accusing Obama of lying about keeping their healthcare. This is a recent change from the perpetual burning of the Benghazi compound.

How do you know they are repeating it? Do you watch? Or do you "hear" it from your fellow liberals?

I love the fact that you hate hearing these FACTS repeated over and over again. Why do you hate facts?

What drugs must be required for one to willingly sit in front of the TV and hear the same bumper sticker message again and again for weeks?
