Yesterday I had conversation with a person who mentioned this phrase, i heard about it for the first time so before my thought stop let me give it a place to rest on my blog.
Thought Stopping Sensationalism:
It has a “shock value” due to some type of extreme claim by use of sensational language, matter or method that is more likely to arouse an intense emotional response than a thoughtful response. Its a situation where rational thought process stops and sensationalism takes over. With
Thought Stopping Sensationalism injected in an arguments. It’s easier to mislead, misdirect, and manipulate people by tapping into their emotions. That what Madison avenue ad men have been doing. It has always been an integral part of mass media in its various formats. Its something that politicians know all too well especially around campaigning seasons. Even social media is not exempted from this.
