I hate these “crying wolf” breaking stories. Just do it without the announcement, and I’ll be convinced.

--I hate these “crying wolf” breaking stories. Just do it without the announcement, and I’ll be convinced.--

Four people are sitting around a table talking about baseball or whatever you like. Five minutes of it. Very dull. Suddenly, a bomb goes off. Blows the people to smithereens. What does the audience have? Ten seconds of shock. Now take the same scene and tell the audience there is a bomb under that table and will go off in five minutes. The whole emotion of the audience is totally different because you've given them that information. In five minutes time that bomb will go off. Now the conversation about baseball becomes very vital. Because they're saying to you, "Don't be ridiculous. Stop talking about baseball. There's a bomb under there." You've got the audience working.

-Alfred Hitchcock

I agree with the other poster...did you see the Veritas video?

If that is crying wolf, or not worthy, then our country is finished. Done.

And I don’t think I am being melodramatic here, as my post above should demonstrate.

The problem is that you are looking at a small slice of the overall pie. If they dropped every thing at once, it would not be effective.

The reason is that you will eventually get a response. This is the Brietbart model, used so effectively in the past. It allows the “victim” to make a statement saying, “thats a lie” or “I would never condone that...”

The follow up would be the victim/target saying exactly what he said he would never say.

There is a method to the madness.

Obviously you do not understand the basics of news promotion. The buildup is akin to foreplay. It results in much more receptive participant :)
