"The power of GB News lies less in what it broadcasts and more in what it clips. This is what Neil in an interview with the BBC's Amol Rajan calls the 'slice'n'dice' model - its content is designed to be clipped and shared, to go viral, to change the conversation, to bolster conservative narratives and to constantly and repeatedly perform 'anti-wokeness'.

Potential voters were assigned one of five personality groups: risk-takers, carers, go-getters, individualists and supporters. Each got a tailored message. Risk-takers were viewed as highly neurotic and susceptible to ads that pricked their fears, Cambridge records show. Go-getters, on the other hand, would respond better to messages of optimism and the promise of a better future. ...
For the gun industry, a Democratic majority in the Senate and a Hillary Clinton presidency would have meant more legislative battles and a possible return to gun restrictions and loss of profits. Patrick O'Malley, the man who had been running the NSSF's largely successful electioneering effort for more than a decade, realized it needed to modernize, according to Cambridge emails.
So in April 2016, O'Malley, an NSSF contractor and political consultant, hired Cambridge Analytica. The written agreement called for Cambridge to mobilize supporters of the Second Amendment in the battleground states of Florida, North Carolina, Virginia, Missouri, Colorado, Nevada, Wisconsin, Ohio, Pennsylvania and New Hampshire." https://www.propublica.org/article/guns-lobbying-cambridge-analytica-nssf-privacy-elections #OrgUSNationalShootingSportsFoundationNSSF #LegislationUS1791ConstAmdt2RightToBearArms #AdvocacyUSNationalRifleAssociationNRA #OrgClassifPPUSDemocraticPartyHillaryClinton #2016_ #ToponymAmericaNorthUSFlorida #ToponymAmericaNorthUSNorthCarolina #ToponymAmericaNorthUSVirginia #ToponymAmericaNorthUSMissouri #ToponymAmericaNorthUSColorado #ToponymAmericaNorthUSNevada #ToponymAmericaNorthUSWisconsin #ToponymAmericaNorthUSOhio #ToponymAmericaNorthUSPennsylvania #ToponymAmericaNorthUSNewHampshire #PhenomnMiningDataMicrotargeting

#NewspaperUKBrdshtTheTelegraphEdwardMalnick "The advertising boycott of GB News shows Britain can no longer take basic democratic values for granted, the Culture Secretary has warned.
Writing for The Telegraph, Oliver Dowden said a 'vocal Twitter minority' was targeting the 'free and diverse media' and the 'right to dissent'.
The Cabinet minister pledged: 'We will not stand by and allow that to happen.'
In an escalation of the Government's so-called 'war on woke', Mr Dowden insisted the fledgling centre-Right broadcaster is right to seek to 'empower' viewers who feel that their 'concerns have been unheard'.
His intervention came after several companies withdrew advertising from GB News in its first week on air in the face of a 'stop funding hate' campaign.
Mr Dowden said: 'When he launched the channel, veteran broadcaster Andrew Neil vowed that GB News would not be 'an echo chamber for the metropolitan mindset', and that it would 'empower those who feel their concerns have been unheard'.
'Rightly so. A free media is one that has a diverse range of opinions and voices.'
Mr Dowden identified the protection of journalism and political opinions as 'the grounds of a functioning democracy', adding: 'Sadly, we can no longer take them for granted.
'Across the West, our values of tolerance and freedom of expression, for which previous generations have fought and died, increasingly risk being undermined by a small but vocal minority. For them, these are not absolute, but relative, concepts, ready to be bent to silence dissent from their world view.'
In an interview with The Telegraph, Frank Luntz, the veteran US pollster behind use of 'climate change' instead of 'global warming' said he fears 'capitalism' is becoming a 'bad word' in Britain, and said he is seeking an alternative to the word." https://www.telegraph.co.uk/politics/2021/06/19/exclusive-gb-news-boycott-shows-cant-take-democratic-values/ #NMUKGBNews #OrgClassifPPUKConservativesOliverDowden

@EastonHaws [name pseudonymized] [02]: @DouglasKMurray @MikeSwadling @StopFundingHate @unherd @AllisterHeath @Telegraph Big business has made a fatal error by declaring war on Tory voters The boycott of @GBNews is a turning point: firms must end #woke campaigning or face a ferocious backlash [URL redacted]

#TheoryInstrumentalism argument where the overt acts of those behind GBNews (namely #NMUKGBNewsAndrewNeil's declaration of a 'war on woke', which is commonly understood to be justification for attacking liberal and progressive values) are seen as inconsequential to their future efforts and that efforts to stall the spread are condemned as being #PoliticsFascism. The argument against the supposed #TauntVirtueSignalling of so-called #TauntLefties is a #MetaphorDavidAndGoliath one i.e. seeking to imbue GBNews with allusions related to newborn innocence and frailty against the unjust challenge of StopFundingHate activism.


Context: "GB News has secured £60m in funding in order to make it to the airwaves. Of this, £20m came from the American media company Discovery (the people behind such channels as Discovery Channel, Science Channel, TLC, Food Network and Animal Planet). The remaining money came from two other sources; British hedge fund manager Paul Marshall, and Legatum, a private investment firm which is based in Dubai." https://metro.co.uk/2021/06/16/gb-news-who-is-funding-the-channel-and-how-does-it-make-money-14782333/ #BrandWarnerDiscovery #IRLBusinesspersonPaulMarshall #AdvocacyAELegatumInstitute

Marshall, who also founded the online magazine UnHerd and is a major investor in GB News, has been in exclusive talks to acquire the publication for about a month, Politico reported on Tuesday (3rd September)." https://bylinetimes.com/2024/09/03/the-bored-millionaire-buying-up-britains-right-wing-media-paul-marshall-set-to-buy-the-spectator/ #2024_ #MagazineAUTheSpectator #OrgClassifPPUKConservatives #WebsitePolitico
