Talk:Media manipulation

message: "Example: If many countries are opposed to our actions, but one of them (say, France) is obviously acting out of self-interest, mention mostly France. As with most persuasion methods, it can easily be applied in reverse, in this case, attempting to discredit George W. Bush in order to discredit the entire coalition against Iraq."
The editor probably didn't intend it to be, but the combo of the casual "(say, France)" with the "obviously acting out of self-interest" just smacks of POV to me.  I think a better edit would be something like "but if one of them is obviously acting out of self-interest, mention mostly that country".  It's def. still not perfect, but at least it's not quite so unnecessairly politically charged.  --Zagsa 02:16, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

message: I propose that Compliance professional be merged into Media manipulation. I think that the content in the compliance professional article can easily be explained in the context of media manipulation, and the media manipulation article is of a reasonable size in which the merging of compliance professional will not cause any problems as far as article size or undue weight is concerned. All of the links within compliance professional for types of compliance professionals are redirects to the corresponding type of media manipulation. 
I am prepared to perform the merger now if consensus favours the proposal. --03:37, 6 July 2012 (UTC)

thread_title:  Merger proposal 

message: * Support Suggest both (Compliance professional & Media manipulation) be merged into Propaganda model or other suitable, intellectually credible. The Herman-Chomsky orientation of the target seems narrow but there's no denying their association with that name. Didn't look hard for another target but there's something wrong with this name, it's down wiki tone if you will, as it is now stands alone with Compliance professional suggesting a new broader scope for the merge result. Maybe the target should take the name of this article (same as merge Propaganda model into this one). 72.228.189.184 (talk) 20:54, 24 August 2012 (UTC)

text: Well spotted, but it is not literally a hoax. The anonymous IP has misinterpreted the authorship of the source. It is an interpretation of Chomsky by the journalist wmar:Eduardo Aliverti. Whether it is an accurate interpretation, I think, should be left to the reader. I  the link to reflect this authorship. --Andrewaskew (talk) 23:11, 20 January 2013 (UTC)

message: None of the three pictures in the article were about the mass media, which is the main focus of the article.  I'm sure there are better pictures available. BayShrimp (talk) 16:01, 17 May 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree with your removal of those pictures. The article was looking bare, so I added in some replacements that are hopefully more apropos. Korny O'Near (talk) 21:12, 17 May 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks. Your offerings do add some interest to the article. BayShrimp (talk) 00:07, 18 May 2013 (UTC)

message: There is a project to uncover media manipulations. Some time ago I found one ambitious project Oodles Press. They tried to launch news site with interesting philosophy. They collected news from various channels around the world and searched for differences. They translated news from two sides for each others along with social network comments. They detected agents that leave comment for making opinion (trolls). It could be good tool to find manipulations. When they launched Indiegogo campaign they collected $90. Now campaign is closed. As I can see they are still working on site integrating step by step promised function without being funded. But it's a wierd thing, many people talking about fake news, and no real action.

thread_title:  Penalties for media manipulation? 

message: While the term propaganda has justifiably acquired a strongly negative connotation by association with its most manipulative and jingoistic examples (e.g. Nazi propaganda used to justify the Holocaust), propaganda in its original sense was neutral,
I have never once heard that Nazi media, nor German media of any kind 
under that administration, addressed the Holocaust in any way 
whatsoever... Claverhouse (talk) 22:38, 15 June 2020 (UTC)
