"Propaganda is a concerted set of messages aimed at influencing the
opinions or behavior of large numbers of people. Instead of impartially
providing information, propaganda in its most basic sense presents
information in order to influence its audience. The most effective
propaganda is often completely truthful, but presents facts selectively
to encourage a particular synthesis, or gives loaded messages in order
to produce an emotional rather than rational response to the information
presented. The desired result is a change of the cognitive narrative of
the subject in the target audience."
Sounds like a perfect definition of the behaviour of anti-EU papers,
mostly run by Murdoch. |
