Playlist for Show: Long Waves

This show examines the current media and political trend to propagandize language and reporting with the addition of the word, “Weaponizing.” Regarding coverage of the media, numerous examples are cited to show this misuse of language as a new form of the old propaganda technique of framing an issue such that people are misled into associating war, aggression, and evil with an enemy by simple association of a repeated word such as weaponizing. Preexisting prejudices are often commonly drawn upon in this type of propaganda with the end result of people’s having a vague belief or feeling amplified and take for granted as true.
