If someone wants to know how propaganda works and how opinions are manipulated they should study the BBC's conspiracy files. Some obvious stuff: 1) distraction from the main argument or point For example it was indicated that Tony Blair announced it was a crime committed 'in the name of Islam' only 8 hours after the event. The BBC rather than investigating the bases of Blair's claim only 8 hours after the event the BBC changed the focus of the argument to Tony Blair singling out Muslims, and then the BBC suggested that Blair was only attacking extremists and not Muslims as a whole. 2) Character assassination. With at least two of the so called conspiracy theorists the BBC discredited their evidence by attacking their character and not their claims. However, if the BBC was fair in their tactics they would also apply this to the government; how can some one take the government's version of events as truth when it is known the government lied about Iraq's WMD? A lie which has resulted in the death of over a million. So in a nutshell the BBC is saying you can not take evidence from a historian who denies the holocaust, but you can take evidence from a government that lead the country to war based on lies and fabrications. Some un-obvious stuff. 1) Portraying the conspiracy theorists as antagonists and lunatics by the use of language. 2) Using emotive music to accompany their claims and the claims of the Conspiracy theorists. So the music of a villain is applied to the Conspiracy theorists. There are many more points I would like to make regarding my reading and analysis of the BBC's approach to propaganda and opinion manipulation. Edited by Travis, Jul 1 2009, 09:06 AM.
