@Sugar Goat uh? what studies?

Okinawa for two years and Texas for two

@Tyler Zed Becoming wide is not an easy task, but a man like you can certainly do it

The studies on influencing behavior

God we need to have an "ask zed" channel lmao

i didnt say any specific studies...? and influencing behavior isnt something thats really debatable.. its a fact

politicans and the media influence us everyday, or try to

^

marketing campaigns for anything that gets sold in a capitalist society is backed by insane amounts of tiny micro influences.

it's as simple as selecting certain buzz words in headlines

Look up Wansink.

cant affect me, i dont have a brain

One thing I like about the US is the respect you guys have for your military. We don't here, sadly 😦

its crazy seeing how effective it is on people too

Sure but that's just old fashioned propaganda. Lol.

when you arent brainwashed and you can just see how these false headlines actually grab peoples attention

Where are you from Rational?

It's simple. Dumb down the populace and they're easy to manipulate and control. Just think about this. Pop music in the 80's was written at a high school, entry college level. Pop music today is written at a 6-7th grade level.

I SALUTE TO ALL WHO ARE IN THE MILITARY!!! THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE!

Even though I am in Aus, I have respect for your service Zed 🙂

They always try and brainwash you with their acting and lies

I mean the "science" that tells us we are all manipulated by marketing to be fat for instance.

Read "Crystallizing Public Opinion" by Edward Bernays. Start there

well, its not that simple, i dont want to get into it at that level beccause it would just be a whole bunch of semantics, philosophy, and tiny nit picks about the subject

There is tons of propaganda. Do you think Monsanto is an evil corporation? You fell for the propaganda.

these news sources know that they can lie and correct themselves later but the correction wont reach 10% of the people who read the wrong headlines

true

@TheSliceOfLife Or they bury the retraction deep.

Aight imma head out

Cya tmro

and i wasnt implying the super straight forward stuff like "Youre only fat because they advertise food in a tasty way!" im talking about the little things that you dont even realize.

yeah they put it in the middle/bottom of the article

See ya!

see ya oddname1

My propaganda works well, I will be wide president for over 4 decades!

see ya

They should be forced to pay for coverage to get the same number of impressions for their corrections as for their lies lol

Front page headlines get retracted on page 8.

Tyler you should add a levels bot so we can rank up in the channel

Exactly. Hence equal impressions for retractions.

Rank doesn't get you anything though does it????
