How Propaganda Works.

/https://www.patriotbeacon.com/2017/06/budweiser-stuns-nation-releases-4th-july-ad-conservatives-awe/

The above link is to a Facebook post that is being shared this fine 4th of July.

It's about a beautiful advertisement by Budweiser about helping veterans.

It involves a famous veteran.

There is nothing wrong with this ad.

The article is from Breitbart.  Here is the first paragraph.

"Since the world of Hollywood is so liberal these days, it’s rare that a brand takes a stand for veterans of the military. That’s why it came as a welcome surprise this week when Budweiser released an ad for the Fourth of July that honors veterans of the U.S. military."

This implies that advertisements are anti-veteran.

So I'm hunting for advertisements about veterans.

There were tons of positive advertisements about veterans, open the link and look at them.  they go back to WWI and continue to the present.  Advertisers love Veterans, veterans are as American as apple pie and the 4th of July.

Now for negative liberal advertisements that are about veterans.

https://www.bing.com/images/search?q=negative%20liberal%20advertisements%20about%20veterans&qs=n&form=QBIR&sp=-1&pq=negative%20liberal%20advertisements%20about%20veterans&sc=0-46&sk=&cvid=2A0BBC2309BF4CE6B87D5321B43EF38D

There are lots of them also--there are even some that might be anti-veteran and pro-liberal--all from other countries about their own liberal parties. 

There are also a crapload of anti-liberal advertisements from our own country.

Not one anti-veteran from a liberal source in the United States.

So I challenge you to find a single advertisement with a liberal source that is anti-veteran.  Find it.  Add it to the comments.

Why?  Because this is how propaganda works--it takes something everyday and spins it so that it villanizes the other group. 

It takes something that is true, that tugs at the heart-strings and hooks something to it that is untrue and aims it at their own "enemy".

Be conservative.
Be liberal.
Be one of the new independents that don't want a group telling them what is right and what is wrong.

But don't accept lies.  Be a truth-seeker.  Be a truth-spreader.  Be a fact-checker. 

On the internet, in social media--stopping and checking those things that inflame your sense of wrongness and make you want to hate someone is a first step. 

Few things in life are just one-sided.  If a story is not balanced with two sides and doesn't let you know how to find the basis of the horrible claims they make--it might just be pure propaganda.

Propaganda--information, especially of a biased or misleading nature, used to promote or publicize a particular political cause or point of view.

And don't forget the challenge--to find a single advertisement that is anti-veteran and that is from a liberal propaganda engine.

(since demonizing our own sons and daughters, our young heroes, is never going to make anyone a fan, the very idea of this is preposterous--but prove me wrong and prove Breitbart to be an honest source of news--not just propaganda)
