Propaganda Techniques!
ASSERTION: enthusiastic or energetic statement presented as fact, but not necessarily true; the
statement should be accepted without question!
!
BANDWAGON: an appeal to follow the crowd, to join in because others are doing so well; because
so many people have joined, victory is inevitable and defeat impossible!
!
CARD STACKING: selective omission which involves only presenting information that is positive
to an idea or proposal and omitting information contrary to it!
!
GLITTERING GENERALITIES: words that have different positive meanings for individual subjects,
but are linked to highly valued concepts (honor, glory, love of country); they demand approval
without thinking since such an important concept is involved!
!
LESSER OF TWO EVILS: tries to convince audience of an idea or proposal by presenting it as the
least offensive option; used to convince people to make sacrifices; adds blame on an enemy country
or political group!
!
NAME CALLING: use of derogatory language that carries a negative connotation when describing
an enemy; labels the target as something that the public dislikes!
!
PINPOINTING THE ENEMY: simplifies a complex situation by presenting one specific group or
person as the enemy; clear-cut right and wrong!
!
PLAIN FOLKS: convinces the public that his/her views reflect those of the common person and they
are working for the benefit of the common person!
!
SIMPLIFICATION (STEREOTYPING): reduces a complex situation to a clear-cut choice involving
good and evil; useful in swaying uneducated audiences!
!
TRANSFER: used in politics and during wartime; often used to transfer negative feelings for one
object to another; transferring blame or bad feelings from one politician to another of his/her friends
or party members!
