Slogans make you stop thinking.”As one of the few people to tune into Brian Stelter’s Reliable Sources on Sunday morning, this line caught my ear. Stelter is not entirely wrong here, and so I decided to look into a few slogans that have stopped people from thinking over the past few years. In the context of the Steele dossier, several CNN personalities treated “corroborated” as a slogan. But there is an interesting conversation to be had about how media slogans make you stop thinking. If CNN ever wants to be treated seriously outside of its liberal audience, perhaps Stelter may have it someday.
