Talk:Fear mongering

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This article could use some serious work. The way it is now, it only really targets one party in one country. I don't really understand why it's listed in the categories it was, and those it was listed it made it look like (even though the Daisy ad is mentioned) that only the Republican party does this. This presents some pretty big NPOV issues, as well as making it only gives the point from the United States perspective. I think this article needs to either be expanded greatly. --Hawk405359 21:21, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Daily Show video clip reference dead

Reference #2, which points to a YouTube video of the Daily Show, is a dead link and needs to be removed. The video was removed from YouTube by Viacom legal action. Ubikuberalles 03:37, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

Not to mention the fact that I'm not convinced that YouTube is the best source for anything. That ad looks fake to me and I don't remember ever seeing (or hearing about) it till I came to this article. Unless someone can reference it in an independent source (New York Times reaction, for example) it should be removed. And yes, this article violates NPOV by linking fear mongering to only one political party. The Daisy example is valid but the point should be made that all political parties (along with media outlets, newspapers, and so on) ALL use fear mongering tactics whether for votes or marketing.
