It's hard to believe you studied much of anything, Dave. Where did you
matriculate...at Bob Jones U?

That's irrelevant. What is relevant is that propaganda (and the people
who manufacture it) are quite adept at their work. Their skill at
language allows them to shift a persons reaction to a story simply by
adding a few descriptive adjectives, or changing the point of view.
But I suspect that you already know this being that you claim that one
of your "skills" is creating this sort of fluff for the democratic
party.


Here's a few short headline examples of how the same story (fictitious
in this case) can provoke an entirely different reaction:

"Iraqi bloodbath at local hospital results in another 3 dead U.S.
soldiers"

"U.S. soldiers successfully prevent terrorist attack at local
hospital, 3 soldiers gave their lives to save others. "
