Griffin On Question Time
#9
Danny Jarman Wrote:Luckily for Griffin, Jack Straw was on hand to make a bigger fool of himself.

Griffin's treatment proved a fascinating example of "negative promotion," that is, of a kind visited by the BBC on, for example, Mark Lane in January 1967; or Noam Chomsky by William F. Buckley, Jr., on his TV programme "Firing Line."

"Negative promotion" constitutes the plausibly deniable and temporary foregrounding, via portrayal as dissident underdog assailed by the forces of the establishment consensus, of a deep state asset by an ostensibly disapproving host or broadcaster.

Its purposes are the predictable ones, to delimit a debate and control its outcome.

In due course, after Griffin has served the purpose of electing Cameron, he will be destroyed.
