How Attitude Change Propaganda Works: Hate Group vs NPR vs Ann Coulter

[TalkerOne]

@JSawyer69J Actually, the elite media's repeated spin against Coulter's book was "that she trashed 9/11 widows". If the NPR Professor wanted to show that he could be one step ahead or just a better journalist it would have been easy for him to be more precise, but doing so would have gone against his invented narrative. In short Jsawyer69J, you are reaching and if you have any appreciable degree of intellectual honesty, you are likely aware of it.

@TalkerOne Sorry... I wasn't aware of that spin on the story (Terry saying it that way sounds natural and I would expect NPR programs going into depth would be more precise) Listening again, I notice the linguist uses the same language... point taken!

@JSawyer69J it could have been more precise for the uninformed listener. I'm not convinced it was intentional.

@JSawyer69J Thanks. I know how difficult it is when something that you trust and have a bit of an emotional investment in lets you down. I have a degree in journalism with honors from IU. I was fortunate to have had a single prof who pounded ethics and fairness and soon I realized that very few journalists and PR professionals make any serious attempt to follow the guidelines in a good J-school textbook.
