Negative TV Ads
Dr. Braccio talks to Tony Conley about negative ads on the Tony Conley Show
During this growing height of political ads a question can be….Why do politicians use dirty ads? The following are some points kocasinan escort ilanları for discussion: 1. People seem to be far more interested in a kidnapping or plane crash than Mary got straight As and the Grand River uneventfully went through Lansing yesterday. I read 9.1% ads were negative in 2008 and 70% recently in this election cycle. 3. Countless surrogates can attack while the candidate claims no involvement. 4. Attack ads present the opponent as dangerous, dishonest, deceptive, a crony to certain power interests, shifty, inconsistent, an opportunist, etc. 5. Negatively and unfairly compare the candidate with your positive and superior traits. 6. Hope words from extremely negative ads when said over and over again become ingrained in the listener who initially may be turned off by the add. 7. Focus on emotional issues loaded with fear to turn someone against the opponent. 8. Raise questions and hopefully some digging by the listener will lead to a changed vote. 9. Tell half-truths with negative motive and hope people do not look for the facts. 10. Etc.
As a statement, in a 50/50 election every vote counts and dirty adds are and will be part of the political landscape. They also can turn people off so there is a danger. My point is to help people be more aware as opposed to knocking anyone or any party. The biblical quote fits perfectly: HE WHO IS WITHOUT SIN LET HIM CAST THE FIRST STONE.
