buster. 5,195 Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 Desperate for a negative angle, aren't they ! The premise of the question they ask seems to me to be miscued. "All of England" isn't professional football. A single beer for any individual won't change his or her life. What's the reaction of the BBC down South ? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gonzo79 15,294 Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 The BBC don't even attempt to hide their hatred for Rangers. Pathetic. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

26th of foot 6,082 Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 Just returned to dear old Blighty on an overnight ferry from Bilbao, turn on the PC and find BBC Scotland have NOT lost a beat in the month I have been away. Jardine is a Doonhamer who supports the Jambos. He fills in for Kate Adams on a Friday morning. The show's Producer is behind this article, sneak it in when the bigger named Presenter is off doing something on the network. Who is the show's Producer? I note Susan Egelstaff has utilised her Herald column to batter Jon Flannagan, she is a most regular contributor to BBC Scotland. Who suggested the topic matter Susan, did the same person show the same feelings when Neil Lennon was on the front pages for attempting to persuade a third party to slash an ex-girlfriend's throat? You see, it's all done by proxy. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ian1964 10,724 Posted June 23, 2018 Author Share Posted June 23, 2018 The seven techniques of propaganda:In 1937, Edward Filene helped establish the Institute of Propaganda Analysis. The goal of this institution was to help educate the American public and to understand the techniques by which propaganda is spread. Filene and his fellow researchers identified seven techniques used by propagandists.Name CallingUsing negative or discriminatory words, propagandists arouse suspicion and prejudice. The goal is to create an overall dislike of a group of people, so verbally attacking their beliefs, institutions, leaders or religion is fair game. Name calling is often used in ridiculing cartoons or writing.Glittering GeneralitiesUsing slogans or simple catchphrases, propagandists make generalized statements attractive to their audience. Usually these statements involve ideas of love, honor, glory, peace, family values, freedom, patriotism -- anything general enough to inspire pride. These statements usually say very little, so they cannot be proved or disproved.TransferA transfer associates a revered symbol with an idea the propagandist wants to promote. If an idea can be linked with, say, a flag, it has a greater chance of winning popular approval. The stir of emotions makes it difficult for people to clear their minds and think critically.TestimonialA testimonial makes an association between a respected or authoritative person and the cause. The hope is that the respected person will lead others to follow his ideas. It is similar to a celebrity endorsement of a product.Plain FolksThe goal of this technique is to convince the audience that the spokesman is like them and shares their woes and concerns. Using plain language and mannerisms, he is able to build trust by his followers.BandwagonThis technique capitalizes on the human drive to be part of a crowd, a member of the winning team. By creating the illusion that widespread support exists, the propagandist hopes those who are on the fence will join the cause. If they refuse, this technique seeks to make them feel isolated.Card StackingBy using only those facts that support their ideas, propagandists can make it seem that their way is the only correct way. The aim of card stacking is for the audience to assume these facts are conclusive. By "stacking cards against the truth," propagandists can control the beliefs of their audience. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
