Why Smart People are Particularly Vulnerable to Propaganda
- pedalpete 14y agoThis post doesn't really say anything about why 'Smart People are Particularly Vulnerable to Propaganda'. It alludes to Fox news using brainwashing techniques and theoretically shady use of 'experts' to alter a persons beliefs. Many 'documentaries' (left and right) use brainwashing techniques with different levels of success. Look at Zeitgeist as an example. They use a process similar to how the Koreans brainwashed American POWs in the late 1950s. This article doesn't expand on that, and just targets Fox (though a well deserved target I believe, I don't get Fox here in Australia) and right-wing conservatives, who at this point are a fairly easy target I think.
