"The People Will Believe What the Media Tells Them They Believe." George Orwell (angeblich)

Pseudo-George-Orwell quote.

Dieses Pseudo-George-Orwell-Zitat ist vor etwa 10 Jahren entstanden und wird seit Donald Trumps Wahlkampf besonders gerne von russischen Propaganda-Seiten (bislang  nur auf Englisch) verbreitet.

Es ist grenzenlose Dummheit oder purer Zynismus, wenn Leute, die Unwahrheiten und Lügen verbreiten, sich dabei mit einem falschen Zitat auf einen integeren Autor und Journalisten wie George Orwell berufen.

  • Huh? the news media never makes mistakes.  Everyone believes everything that the news media tells them to believe.

1998
  • The specifics of who owns the media is irrelevant. The point is; DON'T BELIEVE ANYTHING THE MEDIA TELLS YOU. its that simple. Americans seem to bebrainwashed/sedated into believing what  the media tells them to believe. The media tells them what catch phrases to use, how to be cool/hip, what products to buy, what politicians to support /groups.google.com/forum

"Tactic: Memetics

The Internet Research Agency’s content relied extensively on memes, a popular format for the   transmission of information – and propaganda – across the social ecosystem. Memes can   take the form of pictures, icons, lyrics, catchphrases; they are a sort of ‘cultural gene’, part of   the body of society, transmitted from person to person, often mutating. While many people   think of memes as “cat pictures with words”, the Defense Department and DARPA have studied   them for years as a powerful tool of cultural influence, capable of reinforcing or even changing   values and behavior.   Memes turn big ideas into emotionally-resonant snippets, particularly because they fit   our information consumption infrastructure: big image, not much text, capable of being   understood thoroughly with minimal effort. Memes are the propaganda of the digital age. The   IRA extensively studied its American targets. It both created and appropriated highly relevant   memes for each target audience, sharing from other pages and encouraging its own audiences   to reshare to their personal accounts as well ".
