Obama Administration of nudging..

I hear them talk about it and I do believe that talk show hosts are being advised by "consultants" that political talk -- especially if it is "always" critical of Democrats -- is a turnoff for a majority of listeners.

Personally I am convinced that Cass Sunstein and phony "consultants" are "nudging" us back into the "Fairness Doctrine" era of a silenced majority.

If the FCC imposed "fairness" there would be outrage.. this way it looks like "we" want it. It's Sunstein's idea of libertarian paternalism.. we are free to choose but the liberals present us with the options and nudge us into choosing the "correct" one.

One of my “heroes” is Edward Bernays, who basically is the founder of most modern “public relations” tools.

He was big on “engineered consent” and other techniques to nudge you into doing something, usually commercial in nature but government too.

He was one of the team that successfully sold WWII to America.

So this is nothing new, really, just a but spiffier and more scientific.

And it’s being done by skeevy people with questionable ethics.

ROTFL...social psychologists got America recycling because they know how manipulate people. Get any college textbook on the subject, read, and weep. My book was written in so bad I had to keep it.

I wrote rush about this long ago.

Hmmmm ...... Let’s see.

1. I refuse.
2. I’m holding five tickets to eternity, with more to spare.
3. I’ve stood up to morons like you, before.
Hint: I remain.
Second hint: I, and I alone, am sovereign over my mental
faculties, and you can kiss Diablo’s tukus!

Groups like this have been working for them from the beginning, unofficially or otherwise, on or off the payroll.
