Deliberate Propaganda

Hoping to be Re-Posted

Since we’re talking about the reliability of sources, I thought it might be instructive to offer a bit of deliberate propaganda to anybody who wants to unconscionably propagate it as disinformation. Here’s the graphic I created from a recent news photo.

Obama Quarantine

It’s highly likely the president choreographed the photo-op to demonstrate that Ebola is not a bogey that kills everything it touches. But the rest of the text is simply fabricated to induce outrage. If it gets picked up by other websites, the experiment will demonstrate that even when an image announces itself as not reliable, it can be “re-purposed” by less transparent publishers.

About davidbdale

What should I call you? I prefer David or Dave, but students uncomfortable with first names can call me Professor or Mister Hodges. My ESL students' charming solution, "Mister David" is my favorite by far.
