It is literally ancient stuff. This one is called persuasive speech/technique.

The Art of Persuasion

The leaders of most modern countries exploit a powerful political tool - the power of images. These techniques, in fact, were invented thousands of years ago by the leaders of the Ancient World. But how do politicians actually use images to persuade us - often without us even knowing? How did they do it thousands of years ago?

Yes it is. But what I'm bringing to the table is that a lot of people believe that politicians and other spin doctors are speaking from the heart - but they're not. They're speaking from a craftily prepared and spun speech carefully contructed to include all these 'persuasive' mechanisms and my point is for people to re-visit these speeches and see for themselves.

Interestingly, and relatedly, did you know that if you include images reinforcing a person's stereotypes, they will completely disregard any sentiment posed otherwise? So if you write about how awful it is to segregate black people from white people, but include an image of a typical thug, your message will be mostly ignored.

I find it quite laughable now when I watch politicians rallying the crowd - so predictable! The guy who taught me the above is / was the spindoctor to David Cameron (UK Tory Leader). He basically said that politicians are nothing short of useless without the guys behind the scenes writing their propoganda - you're basically voting for the spin doctor and the pretentious smiling face of a clueless politician.

Totally agree with you on that, this is why Gordon Brown is completely useless. He just is not a media savvy guy.

Do you watch 'In the thick of it', I think anything Amando Innancui creates perfeclty illustrates the riduculiousness of it all and I cant wait for the new Chris Morris movie 'Four lions'.
