Nudge nudge
Good morning. Something Peg said on the previous post, when she/he was expressing their opinion on the UK Column News channel. Got me thinking about emotive language.

I don’t like the over use of emotive language. It is all so intensive as opposed to neutral. Also there seems to be little questioning of people interviewed - for example the current Andrew Bridgen interview.

UK Column is one of many alternative news channels to be found on the internet. They tell it like it is and get to the heart of the matter. They dig deep and don't stop until the real news is unravelled. The Main Stream Media however is dominated by over emotive language. It's called fear mongering, and is designed to shock and worry people into compliance. Independent, and staff journalists, who sell their work to the main stream media know what is required to get them the best rates for their articles. And we all know that they are biased towards those who call the shots. Money talks.
I have picked out a few examples of mis information, and dis information. Possibly there is some truth in these headlines, but the sole purpose of them is to nudge people into thinking that whatever is happening is all down to some crisis or another.
Note the use of the word 'anxiety'. Emotive language to provoke worry.
The use of the word 'suffer' To frighten us. Stay at home, it's too hot to go outside.
If you have booked a holiday to Rhodes, you might like to think twice about it. 'Wildfire' gives the impression that multiple fires started spontaneously, when arsonists have been arrested.
Avoid road closures. Find another way round. Use more fuel.
Huge fire, engulf buildings, warnings. Stay at home. Shortage of water. Build as many homes as you like. Maybe give each one it's own well.
Sick people stranded. Not enough staff. Don't get sick.
It goes on and on and on. Turn your TV off, and get your life back. Peg, UK Column is trying to address the imbalance of people's perception of what is going on. People will veer towards the sources that they most trust. That's ok, but there are always other sides to the story. Always remember those with the most money will shout the loudest.
Thanks for popping in. Toodle pip. ilona.
