Shapes your opinion before you notice — charged words bypass critical thinking.
Makes you lower your guard — false authority and manufactured kinship bypass skepticism.
Controls what conclusions feel obvious — you only see the story they want you to see.
Hijacks your habits — open loops, rage bait, and identity binding make stopping feel impossible.
32 influence techniques analyzed by XrÆ
This episode of The Andrew Klavan Show uses 42 influence techniques across approximately 44 minutes. The most prominent patterns are Loaded Language and Framing. Emotional techniques are especially present — the hosts frequently use appeals to fear, outrage, or sentiment to reinforce their points. None of this means the content is wrong — but knowing these patterns helps you listen more critically.
“Black Lives Matter is the slogan of a nationwide activist movement dedicated to hampering the police so that more black people can be killed”
Frames the entire Black Lives Matter movement as dedicated to deliberately killing Black people, a one-sided characterization that forecloses the movement's stated goals and context.
“a dishonest, corrupt, and untrustworthy news media by supporting a dishonest, corrupt, and untrustworthy candidate who's almost surely going to lose to the dishonest, corrupt, and untrustworthy candidate for the Democrats who is supported by the news media”
Triple repetition of 'dishonest, corrupt, and untrustworthy' across both parties and the media in rapid succession is maximally charged language where more measured alternatives exist.
“CNN about Hillary Clinton lying to the American public, knowing that we had a terrorist attack in Benghazi, and she blamed an American citizen who made a video. But yet, we spent weeks on talking about a headcount when Muslims celebrated 9 11.”
Selectively juxtaposes Benghazi coverage against 9/11 celebration coverage to make media attention appear lopsided, omitting that both topics received extensive coverage and the Benghazi allegations had a different evidentiary basis.
