http://www.docstrangelove.com/2023/10/19/rue8cinod9j Sunday morning saw Boris Johnson’s multiple letter strategy to the European Union trending.

He hadn’t signed it! He had written three! Being a Brexit obsessive (even after all these years), I knew the devil would be in the detail and of course the events were reported everywhere, in abundance.

Over the intervening few days, online commentary mulled over the motive behind the route that Johnson chose to take. Number 10 itself was obviously keen to promulgate Boris’s unusual course of action, with the BBC reporting (some would say arguably) neutrally its official line.

Loud and clear. All sides of the journalistic spectrum saw through his actions.

On the remainer side of the debate, journalist Mike Hind published an explanation of a PR technique called “framing” to explain the rationale behind Johnson’s three-letter-no-signature strategy.

Hind goes on to explain that in the age of social media, communications strategists have millions of opinions to manipulate. And in the soundbite of a tweet, sensationalist and salacious headlines spread, replacing the story that came before.

From altercations in his private life, to questionable relationships with business associates, to the embarrassment of a Supreme Court pronouncing he’s given unlawful advice to the Queen – there  always seems to be trouble brewing.

As Team Vote Leave, it could be argued that they manipulated the conversation enough to win the referendum. As Team Boris, they are certainly working overtime to ensure the message of “getting Brexit done” is at the forefront of his rhetoric.

This explanation allows us to look at news more objectively, to form opinions from an unbiased narrative or at least to dismiss the sensationalist bias and get to the heart of events. Goodness only knows the twists and turns of Brexit are difficult enough to keep up with without having to wade through the spin.

With the news agenda shifting and changing several times a day it will be interesting to see how many more stories will be manipulated away before October 31. And how in the aftermath of Brexit – if that day ever happens – we will be much more wary of media manipulation and develop our own techniques to decode spin and get to the heart of a story.
