The Subtle Art of Voter Manipulation: A Critical Look at Media Portrayal

2019-12-11

I only get political on here around election time... Of all the possible pictures on the night before an election the BBC front page shows Jeremy Corbyn as weak looking, worried, tired, tie less, disinterested and aged.... with a beige coloured boring background and a dimly lit (not fully switched on) light.... and eyes squinted and not alert... looking down... looking blank... lips downwards... shoulders downward... looking away from other candidate.... and a low level fire extinguisher sign (warnings/danger) positioned right by his mouth(warnings/danger).... Then compare with the other candidate photo... pictured infront of a message, looking smart, looking up, looking engaged... wearing tie, suit, saying something (as if to signal has answers/opinion)... looking towards opponent as if not scared... Psychology part of my degree... Go figure what is going on here, with our apparently ‘impartial national broadcaster’ ... it’s called voter manipulation.... trying to get the undecided voter to indirectly support one candidate over the other subconsciously... by making one look a stronger looking person who could lead, and the other look weaker and less like a leader... Call me bonker…
