Manipulative Propaganda
The Sprawl is a website in the subject of propaganda about propaganda. In the beginning, I scroll down the website, it is very confusing. In each video, there has a graphic and abstract object cover the footage, some video is upside-down, those make me confuse and lost to the point of the main thing. I got more understand after watching “propaganda about propaganda”. It reminds me that in the past propaganda was come in a form of texts, words, posters, and broadcasts. All of those can make people believe. From all of the videos, I noticed something is interesting.
“Is CNN objective? No. Is the BBC objective? No. Objectivity is a myth which they propose to us and impose on us.” — Objectivity is a Myth video
This quote is from one of the videos on the website that are covered the upside-down footage. I interpret that nothing is objectivity even the CNN and BCC the most believable news source are not even objective. That might be because everyone has many different viewpoints and objectives from one media and those also become manipulative propaganda as well.
From The Sprawl “propaganda about propaganda”, I interpret that the Sprawl shows the propaganda in the form of film with the abstract art object on the video and website, which playing with our minds, our emotions, and our vision. All of the text and abstract things that cover the footage is manipulative people’s thought as propaganda that manipulative.
