    to me it's actual commercials, celebrity endorsement, to me propoganda is when they use the mediain a not so subtle way I guess..
     
  2. the celebrities aren't being paid to support the the dnc usually, so it's not an endorsement, the reason more celebrities are liberal is that the stanislavskian method (very complicated, also why you'll find more gay people in theatre, in this case it has to do with empathy, in that one you're lookin' at people applying stereotypes to themselves in an open environment often times)

    the media runs a more liberal mix because it gets better ratings, that's the only reason, has nothing to do with the dems, dems exploit it, but you can't tell me that people prefer to watch news with human interest bullshit and be any sort of honest, the morning show with the highest ratings, the today show, katie couric, not even real journalists, it's all human interest shit, and liberalism helps that....

    I hate the news they have on TV... they should stop that

    I do see your point about the news at least... I gotta check out this stanislavskian bullshit, seems really interesting...
     
  4. it's not exactly a direct correlation, but if you look at the thing it's the method (here is the complicated bit I was talking about)

    the idea behind stanislavskian method acting is that you have to take an emotional state, remember it, magnify, diminish and alter it to the situation that fits your character, and relive it

    this is the reason you'll get a lot more emotionally open and empathetic people in theatre

    well, american (stanislavskian school) theatre at least

    you have to be able to understand the emotional state of a char from just a few lines and make an analog state for yourself

    empathic people tend to be more liberal because they don't want to see others suffer because, well, it hurts them.....

    hmm I don't like to see others suffer in an emotionaly way, but then again watchin them physically suffer I sometimes enjoy and don't even consider an emotional part to that...
