Propaganda by distribution

·        Biased treatment to information makes information propaganda. Propaganda is in varying degree distinguishable from news. The rejection of information as propaganda varies; it is determined by the degree propaganda is distinct from information.

All propaganda is not accepted nor is all rejected. The news is departure from normal and there can either be too much or too little to report on. Country (Bête noire of west) even serves as a minor source of news; but is a major target of propaganda, thus appears bigger evil than it is because much after rejection much is still remaining to be accepted.

               

 Political marketing through Reductio ad Hitlerum and operant conditioning.  

·        (A is said to include X, and B is said to include X, therefore, A=B. this a bad logic as people disapprove of an action or idea because contemptible or subversive people approve it (regardless of its merit). This logic can be proved good logic if it is proved that people are contemptible or subversive because of their capability of approving good ideas; and that is something beyond proving.)

Political marketing consultant applies the technique of Reductio ad Hitlerum to obtain disapproval by proving that the idea is popular with groups not popular with his target audience. Political marketing consultant applies in addition operant conditioning if target audience is hesitant to change their original position and is likely to do so if important person appeals for rejection of an idea because of its non-rejection by undesirable people.

          

Political marketing through classical conditioning 

·        When a leader is with his followers, followers go on the rampage; people must be having the anticipation of a great destruction as a leader is in town. (Creating a negative physical reaction by creating the false association between a leader and destruction as leader is in town minus followers.)
