The spin would be ... "Is Big Business taking over the Internet?" |
A tactic for influencing public opinion is to interject ones' position through sound bites. IMO, "Is Big Business taking over the Internet?" is a sound bite that could work against us. Even though it's worded in the form of a question, it plants the seed in the mind of the reader that big business is taking over the Internet and assumes a defeatist position. When dealing with the public it's crucial to be precise in planting the seed for exactly what you want them to believe, eg:
"Anti-phishing bill has hidden agenda against small businesses"
"Bill with anti-phishing label goes behond phishing to hurt small businesses"
"Anti-phishing Bill contains phishy language"
"Anti-phishing Bill is itself phishy -- say critics"
"Anti-phishing Bill goes beyond phishing"
