The best propagandist? Rove, Coulter, Limbaugh, Savage, Hannity or O'Reilly?

Answer 1

Rupert Murdoch.

The best trick of the devil is to make you forget he exists.

Answer 2

Actually, it would be someone who is a little more moderate in their approach to propagandizing, like Beck. He get's just close enough to the truth that some of what he says seems semi-plausible.

But the rest of those guys and gals (I'm giving Coulter the benefit of the doubt here)... are so delusional that only those already profoundly deluded could buy into their twisted thinking.

Edit: I was thinking of the talking heads. Rove is in another category, and yes... he's the most able propagandist of the group.

Answer 3

As much as I hate all of the people you listed, there's one word I would use to describe them all: Smart.

Ann Coulter knows exactly what needs to be said in order for her to get publicity and sell her books. The more controversial she is, the more money she makes. She isn't really a propagandist... instead I'd call her a harpie.

Savage, Limbaugh, and O' Reilly also know exactly what should be said in order to get the attention necessary to get their high ratings. These are the only three that I think are actually propagandists.

Karl Rove is probably the smartest of the group. He realizes what is necessary to destroy your opponent and win elections. I wouldn't necessary call him a propagandist... more of a strategist.

Answer 4

William James "bill" O'Reilly, Jr. (born September 10, 1949) is an American television host, author, syndicated columnist and political commentator. he's the host of the political remark application The O'Reilly component on the Fox information Channel, that's the main watched cable information application on American television. for the period of the late Nineteen Seventies and Eighties, he worked as a information reporter for quite a few interior sight television stations contained in usa and at last for CBS information and ABC information. From 1991 to 1995, he became anchor of the leisure information application interior version. O'Reilly is extensively seen a conservative commentator, nonetheless a number of his positions diverge from conservative orthodoxy (specifically his opposition to the loss of life penalty). O'Reilly characterizes himself as a "traditionalist". O'Reilly is the author of 9 books, and hosted The Radio component until early 2009.

Answer 5

#1. Rove by far heads above the rest.
#2. Limbaugh. Both Rush and Hannity are kool-aide drunkin brainwashed hacks.
#3. Hannity.
#4. Coulter. Even Republicans don't like her.
#5. O'Reilly. Once in awhile he disagrees with the administration when he thinks they're wrong.

Answer 6

Rove is much more an evil manipulator than a crude propagandist like the rest.

Answer 7

The best at disseminating propaganda would certainly be Karl Rove...

The others just support whatever he tells them to and get rich for it.

Answer 8

Depends on which version of the "truth" you subscribe to -- the one supported by logic or the one supported by emotion.

Using Wikipedia's definition (i.e. "propaganda in its most basic sense presents information in order to influence its audience"), I'd have to say Rush.

Using the incorrect but popular definition (i.e. "spreads lies") and I'd again have to say Rush.

Answer 9

None of the above could be described as "best," because "best" is the superlative of "good," and none of the above could be described as "good." Want to try for "worst"? "Sleaziest"? "Biggest scumbag"? "Blowhardest"? "Mouthbreathingest"? "Knuckledraggingest"?

Answer 10

Probably Savage. He's a loon.
