What will be an ideal response?


Some of the tricks of the trade of propaganda-making are (1) name calling–associating the competing product, candidate, or policy with negative images; (2) glittering generality–surrounding the product, candidate, or policy with images that arouse positive feelings; (3) transfer–associating the product, candidate, or policy with something the public does, or does not, approve of; (4) testimonials–famous people endorsing the product, candidate, or policy; (5) card stacking—presenting only positive information about what is supported and only negative information about what is opposed; (6) bandwagon–"Everyone is doing it."
