That Americans want to do everything to get elected we knew. We also knew that most Americans don’t even bother to vote. This group of American celebrities tries to get people to vote. Funny sometimes, but also a bit ‘preachy’. But I guess Americans need that?
Al op de middelbare school kreeg ik het voorbeeld voorgeschoteld wat ik in mijn geschiedenisstudie later meerdere keren mee kreeg: de foto van Trotski. Op een foto van een sprekende Lenin figureerde ook Trotski. Deze kwam later tijdens het Stalinisme recht tegenover de machthebbers te staan. Die (Stalin) verwijderden Trotski simpelweg van de foto. Zo werd de geschiedenis gemanipuleerd.[/lang_nl] [lang_en]Influencing news to get better reviews yourself, is as old as humanity itself. Before I wrote in a post about my blog inspiration about Plinius the Younger, who in the days of Pompeii "maybe" tried to influence the course of history. Now it seemed the turn for the Dutch political party SP to get a bad review. They were ‘caught’ by an anti-SP blog on adjusting photographs. But who really was the person who did the influencing remained unclear. Politics 2.0 or just something from every century?
Already in high school, I got the example I got presented in my college several times: the “Trotsky picture”. On a photograph of a speaking Lenin you could also see Trotsky. When Trostky was no longer a friend but an enemy for the reigning power they (Stalin) simply removed Trotsky from the picture. That way manipulating history.[/lang_en]
Getting stock material is getting photos and videos on the Web, for a small fee, or sometimes even for free. Stock material can be used for various purposes. As owner of a website you do not have to get photos or videos specially made for you. This saves money. The disadvantage may be that the material also can be used by others. The content is not "unique".
Hillary Clinton experienced another disadvantage. For a campaign film about the sense of security her campaign team used stock material of Getty Images. On one of the images figures a little girl asleep. The images used have been made a number of years ago. This girl is now ready to vote AND a big supporter of Obama… So she decided to walk directly to the press…
