Lancaster's Propaganda

Host Danny Martin explains the very unbalanced political coverage by Lancaster's local newspaper, LNP, particularly on local races such as the school board election in Manheim Township. He also touches on its over-reliance on the Associated Press, its flawed reporting during the Covid pandemic, and elsewhere. A short list of some of the propaganda techniques called out: Repetition Pejorative labeling Invocation of authority Bandwagon fallacies Manipulation of language (e.g. watering down of letters, and outright changing of words) Subjective headlines Selective use of quotes Outright misinformation (in some cases, only to be corrected later in the online version that far fewer will read compared to the original printed version)
