Shaping Public Opinion: Crash Course Government and Politics #34

Показать описание

So today Craig is going to talk about where our political opinions come from. Of course, most people’s politics are grounded in their ideologies, but there are also other external influences such as the government itself, interest groups, and the media. So we're going to talk about how these influencers factor into the overall public opinion and how their roles have changed over time. Now this stuff may seem like common sense, but it’s important to know where our opinions come from, especially when you consider how quickly the media landscape is changing.

I'm procrastinating my learning, with learning. What has my life come to?!?

"Even though it's three years old"? If you're reading this, you better show up on Oct 9, 2018 for the family reunion. See you then.

Protip: if you meet someone asking for signatures on a petition, the only question they are LEGALLY REQUIRED TO ANSWER TO ANYONE WHO ASKS is "Who is paying you to stand out here and ask for signatures?"
Often that tells you a heck of a lot more about the petition than anything the person standing there could say.

Craig says "I get my political opinions from PewDiePie". in 2017 that would be a VERY controversial statement.

The media priming me to influence the way I think about a particular issue makes me feel differently about the phrase "prime time".

Thank you for your videos. My brain works a different way, and visually helps me out a lot more than reading.

I think as of late I have lost a lot of trust in the media on the whole. How they frame certain issues and how much they seem to get wrong makes me trust that what they say on the whole is not worth my time. If they can't get something right in politics or national news, why should I trust them on international news stories and the like?

3:06 I'm questioning the dark wizard Aku's status as a communist sympathizer, but the reference is so amazing that I don't care.

That "I get my opinions from PewDePie" line at 0:42 did NOT age well. XD

I'd like to know why Craig hates the little stress-ball-eagle-thingy so much. I mean, this is a series on US Government, and the bald eagle is the symbol of our nation--and by extension, our government. Could we hear the eagle's side of the story, as well as its feelings on being punched at least 3 times per episode?
