Politics, Propaganda, Critical Thinking:
Catapult the PropagandaI'll probably say it three more times. See, in my line of work you got to keep repeating things over and over and over again for the truth to sink in, to kind of catapult the propaganda. The truth or lack of truth has nothing to do with it, though it's a nice touch to make people less concerned that you're trying to prevent them from thinking about the issue and just trust your propaganda instead. Nice of the president to let us all know what propaganda techniques he's using. It's known as argumentum ad nauseam (more here).
