PLAIN FOLKS
THIS PHOTO OF PRESIDENT OBAMA IS AN EXAMPLE OF PLAIN FOLKS
This picture of President Obama eating a McDonald’s hamburger is an example of plain folks. Plain folks is a propaganda technique where it makes the leader look just like any of us. McDonald’s is known as food for ordinary people. With the picture of Obama eating McDonalds, it portrays Obama one of us in order to portray a sense of commonality as he does something no special than what all of us do. Because Obama looks like a plain folk or a normal person by eating McDonald’s, this is an example of plain folks.
