[ It wouldn't do for the braindead in our midst to go looking into that mouth now would it?

However, if you do decide to proceed, please add me to the ping list.]

No, the brain dead on the other side will never read it. And I see your point about the FR audience already being up to speed on this topic. The rush to join the Propaganda Ping List has been molases-like.

So it looks like no propaganda list will be forthcoming, however, if I go ahead and just post a very modest monthly roundup of three or four examples that just burn me so much I can't resist, then where would be a good place to post that and under what title?

I notice from your homepage that you've been here going on six years, so I'm sure you would know. I've seen a Daily Word feature and other little recurring items. Should I call it a vanity? Or call it something like the Propaganda Roundup and post it to current affairs?

Thanks,

I think it would be beneficial to have a ping list for propaganda techniques. I suppose you could call it preaching to the choir, but I still think a lot of people on Free Republic need some continuing education, myself included. I'm not so sure that everyone on FR is up to speed. There are new people joining all the time, and even some seasoned people miss the obvious.
I want to be on your ping list. The propaganda stuff is fascinating to me. I say go for it.

Would the selective reporting of credentials for "experts" qualify as a separate technique? Things like the recent study on whether unborn babies feel pain - where the authors of the study were long-time abortion rights activists, besides having academic credentials, but the academic creds were the only ones reported.

Yeah well, that's the way things seem to work around here, but if you'll take note of something, that is, THIS thread has had only 70+ replies but something approaching 1400 views. Lots of people will take a look without commenting. They/we will probably learn something about the goebbelists and many will pass the info along, or at worst, retain it for future reference. Now, if you were to stick "live thread" on the end of your post, it would bring out every flying monkey on FR commenting on everything up to and including the latest hair style. But I digress...

The solid but mundane work of defunding, demystifying, and destroying the TOM(Tired Old Media) is not overly glamorous. If you haven't found 'em already, the MRC and AIM, amongst others, get little fanfare but do yeoman's work in documenting and archiving media shenanigans. Our own in house FR CHAPTER did some excellent work some years back in an effort to shine a light on media malpractice. The propaganda aspect is addressed but not given the full treatment by all, so...

...where would be a good place to post that and under what title?

The News/Activism category is where I'd put it. In case you haven't noticed, I've really become enamored with the term goebbelist/goebbelism as it relates to our domestic media seditionists. Maybe you could work it into a theme of some kind.......or not ;^) It might make a passable keyword also, eh? By way of suggestion, make your first couple of posts barnburners as much as possible; something that really showcases the Marxist infestation and their goebbelist tactics. Also, for starters, go to An Amused Spectator's FR home page and snatch his ping list. Most are media watchers extraordinaire and most should be interested.

Good luck,

A side note: I noticed someone else suggested consolidating/condensing your list. Maybe cutting it down to a round number, like 20, would be better??? Something about round numbers...
