But I suppose it's hard for anyone to admit to being manipulated.


Trump and Fox News are trying to scare white voters into supporting Republican candidates

Let’s be blunt: Voters, you are being manipulated.

They use fear because it works. Psychological study upon study has shown that conservatives are more fearful than average. Naturally fear works on the same people.

Racist ny times. Nuff said. But will add, my local news affiliate (abc) just crapped on Trump in attempt to manipulate. For that matter,What is the op article doing? Almost all of tv land/media is attempted manipulation. Thats why its so revolting.

When I'm emperor of the planet all schools will teach Math, Science, Language, Art and Propaganda/Advertising Theory for each year of primary education.

Forget no child left behind... how about no child kicked out into the world without a B.S. detector.

The bold is right and both parties do it. Was just in a thread where the Disney heiress is using the scare tactic the {R}s are going to make drastic cuts to social security and Medicare. Hmmm, let me see, how many years have the {D}s used this scare tactic? I think even before the Reagan administration, right?

This is a old and tired scare tactic and both parties need new material. I was thinking one of the parties can say if you elect the other party they will implement that all polling stations be manned by flesh eating zombies and it will be a threat to our democracy. Now that is a real scare tactic
