re: Propaganda?

Post by F0zziebear »

Propaganda [from modern Latin: 'propaganda', literally "propagating"] is a concerted set of messages aimed at influencing the opinions or behavior of large numbers of people. Instead of impartially providing information, propaganda in its most basic sense presents information in order to influence its audience. The most effective propaganda is often completely truthful, but some propaganda presents facts selectively to encourage a particular synthesis, or gives loaded messages in order to produce an emotional rather than rational response to the information presented. The desired result is a change of the cognitive narrative of the subject in the target audience.

really?

So he wants to ignore the current dispute as it was an introduction letter, then proceeds to use the rest of the paragraph to try and undermine the Union. I guess he was a strike breaker when he was a cadet as well.

Being an ****hole is compulsory in that job.Glad to hear Manson got the boot.He only ever came to our office when a strike was looming to have a 'chat' with the staff, such was his interest in the frontline workforce.He usually left with a flea in his ear.

I laughed at that , he talks of they like petulant children. Sounds like some "statement" made by a hostage in some backward fundamentalist country.

It's good to get these types of threads, the ridiculous my manager said bollox, so we can reassure ourselves that while the world is falling apart, Royal Mail managers are still being the low-life C***S they have always been.

The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.
