Yes, apparently a lot of #PRManagers and #writers for #politicians know how to write to two audiences at the same time. It's really one of the most #dishonest of skills.

Most of the time it seems to revolve around saying as little as possible and repeating #focusGroup-tested three-word-slogans, but entire speeches can be written that mean different things to different people.

Someone on a podcast was talking about this #ManagedDemocracy.

Its part of the reason we don't appreciate #streamingServices that learn what a person is watching — #advertisers can target people using #tropes they are familiar with from such #films and #television series they've watched.

Thus the citizen loses #freeThought.

Its been going on for such a long time though. Started in the 1970 with the #focusGroup and #pushPolling.
