Hello Everyone,
I'd like to apologize ahead of time. I feel like I didn't really give these readings my full attention because I was still working on my paper.
The Lippmann reading: Lippmann uses sarcasm/cynicism to push his point across to the reader about the state of affairs (that most people don't vote, and make up crappy excuses for why not, if they even try at all, etc). I enjoyed this reading for the style of it, but I'd have to say that his was the more coersive of the two: Lippmann didn't provide much information, then let you choose. It was more like Ramage's definition of propaganda, where he played off of our upset at the status quo, to steer us to his conclusion.
I felt like Bernays' reading was much more laid-back, having a discussion with me, rather than telling me how things were.
This is all I have for now. I am very mentally drained from writing this Ramage paper.
