4 3. Transfer Attaching something we approve of or admire to something we should accept. Examples: Using symbols such as flags as backdrop when speaking. Having Brittany Spears sell a face cream – I will look like her Uncle Sam or the American Eagle

5 4. Testimonial Having a celebrity or expert to endorse a candidate or product hoping that the audience will follow their example Examples: Oprah for Obama UNCHARTED 3 (game)

6 5. Card Stacking Stating the good or bad facts about the candidate or product guaranteeing a fixed result (stacking the deck). It is hard to detect because all information is necessary for us to make the best decision. Examples: How Bush took took us to Iraq. How drug companies sell drugs.
