Attacking the opponent
Following the results of the US election I kinda feel, as an Australian, that the logical candidate won. However I believe my opinion was shaped a lot by the media.
Both presidential candidates spent a mass amount of money painting the opponent in a negative light. I felt that Obama did an okay job for the last 4 years, so Romney’s stuff came across as slanderous. However Obama’s propaganda made Romney look like a douche (which he kinda was – labelling 47% of the population as having no-hope).
In every sport you get penalised for going after the player rather than the ball, and considering that so much effort was made by both parties to capitalise on this technique, I have lost a little faith in our world.
