I think we can see the same techniques being employed by the U.K. Gov.

Let us keep the 4 Ds in mind and see what examples we can come up with.

So re the Mueller indictments the responses went like this.

DISMISS:
1. any interference had no effect.
2. It was blown out of proportion
3. It wasn’t limited to Trump.

2. DENY

So DISMISS deflates effect that doesn’t stop denials.

“Who? Me?”

3. DISTRACT.

LOOK OVER THERE.

Whataboutery

Look. Other bad things are happening caused by THEM.

4. DISTORT

This is just so Meuller can keep his job.

5. AMPLIFY.

Use influencers and fringe media to amplify the 4 Ds

Not to mention trolly-bot accounts to spread the message.
