COMPUTER-MEDIATED COMMUNICATION
Abstract
This article is about using public information on a computer. Media can be leveraged for propaganda, which exploits cognitive errors that people are prone to make. By using the techniques of agenda-setting, priming, and framing, the producers of media can manipulate voters to act against their own best interests.
