The effects of EU propaganda
-
Just spotted the article on Slovenian newspaper Finance where they interviewed Americans living in Slovenia who they'll vote fore. All except one voted for Kerry, the one for Badnarick. http://www.finance-on.net/show.php?id=102695[^] Such are the effects of brainwashing and propaganda in Europe (but that does not exist in Europe, of course!) I would really like to see how other Americans living in Europe will vote. Now if there's no propaganda I would expect them to divide pretty much as people living in America. But something tells me this won't be the case - and the lefties will have another excuse and explanation for this fact. Tomaz
Man, I am getting bored of your Republican propaganda! You fail to appreciate that there are people in the EU that actually ... shock! horror! DISAGREE WITH YOU! :rolleyes: How dare they not toe the GOP line! BTW, have you got your Green Card yet? :laugh:

Oh my god!, you're right, surely the voters didn't have a mind of their own, they must have been brainwashed by the evil leftists secretly ruling Europe. I suggest we concentrate them in camps, where they can be guided to the correct kind of thinking, after a couple of years in a quiet cell in Siberia or Guantanamo, they may have had time to consider what's best for them and their glorious country.

No, actually, you don't have to place people to Siberia for this. It is enough to provide one single point of view and keep on repeating it. If you do it in mainstream media then you will be successfull. Not everyone will fall for it, but you can always call those that do not "extremists" and one should "look what the majority of the people think" and not invite them to shows and refuse their articles. I've seen this happen in Serbia in the nineties. Propaganda in Europe is luckily not this far yet. But it is still too far for my taste. Tomaz

Actually I'm just naming something for what it is. Propaganda. And I would not bother doing it if in Europe we would have balance of news sources like in the US. They have newspapers and TV stations that do propaganda. But they have TWO SIDES. Then the reader would have a choice. In Europe, however, he has no choice. It is ONE SIDED. Without letting the other side to speak. Our news are one huge Michael Moore movies. And the very predictable and logical result is that great majority of people think in exactly the same ways. Tomaz

I've never been in Switzerland so I can't really argue on the news situation there, but I can assure you that the papers and the TV news are quite balanced here. Tomaž Štih wrote: But they have TWO SIDES. Ah, that must be black and white, honestly I prefer my news a bit more nuanced.

Imagine a newspaper system that publishes news from both sides. For every pro-Bush article, one anti-Bush article is published. Now, imagine a blogger who sorts the newspaper articles. He tries to translate the anti-Bush articles, and throws away all other articles. Would his blog be much different from the one you linked here? Conclusion: One blog says NOTHING. It can be stupid propaganda against specific papers.
I can see your point and therefore I challenge you to stand behind it. For every positive article about G.W.Bush that you can find in a German newspaper, I will post you three negative articles (so you have 1:3 advantage). We'll do it until one of us runs out of material. And I guarantee I'll win, because though your point is theoretically correct in practice there are almost none pro-republican articles around in Europe. Perhaps in Britain. Tomaz

They wildly and bravely fight against introducin censorship, banning gays, cutting the trees, and reducing social support for blind lepper minority group. Now all they need is an enemy that actually wants to do this... BTW, have you got your Green Card yet? I just received my Europeanship and I'm already being deported. :-D Tomaz

The rapidly decreasing value of the US dollar maybe? So, why don't you find some articles from the US press in favor of the Bush, and then explain why the German press should have published them too. And before you waste your time: "He got rid of Saddam", is not news, it should be something from the past couple of months.

The rapidly decreasing value of the US dollar maybe? Now, this is exactly how newspapers would report this in Europe. As a negative news. Here are issues they would not report: - explaining why they think this is bad? - explain how many years US gov. is issuing bonds and explain that this is not something Bush did himself, - explain that Chinese are keeping the dollar high so that they can export to the States - explain why European Central Bank will intervene to prevent dollar from falling too deep - explain who brought us Europeans to this situation - twas not the Amis and twas definitely not Bush. So in no time you'll have parrots mantring "Bush caused fall of dollar." as somethng negative without understanding any single consequence and interest involved. Tomaz

Actually, I haven't read any papers or seen any news that pointed fingers at Bush for this, it was just an example of actual news. Now, what about those Bush positive articles?...
