My only point here is that the focus should be on how our corporate media are setting us up for yet another insane war rather than how supposedly unexpressibly horrible and deranged a largely powerless Iranian figurehead is.
http://www.prwatch.org/books/tsigfy10.htmlWirthlin's job, Alsop explained, was "to identify the messages that really resonate emotionally with the American people." The theme that struck the deepest emotional chord, they discovered, was "the fact that Saddam Hussein was a madman who had committed atrocities even against his own people, and had tremendous power to do further damage, and he needed to be stopped."Americans don't like to get involved in wars. However, the most effective way to break down American resistance to entering a armed conflict with another country is to make an emotional appeal to Americans based on the personification of the leader of the enemy target as a dangerous, deranged super-villain. This is now a proven, tried and true RW PR strategy. It's up to people on DU to see through this nonsense rather than promulgate it.
