# Strategic use of selective references in political campaigns Selective quoting is a common strategy in political communication. Although it may be used to influence public opinion, I should point out that this kind of practice may bring ethical issues.： ## Common method 1. **De-contextualized quotation**: Extract specific fragments from the complete speech, ignoring restrictions or explanatory content 2. **Time gap utilization**: Quoting the opponent's remarks that are inconsistent with the current position many years ago 3. **Shift of focus**: Amplify secondary or accidental expressions into core positions 4. **Vague quotation**: Use "It is said" or incomplete quotation to suggest a certain point of view ## Ethical considerations This approach will: -May mislead the public -Damage to healthy democratic dialogue -Reduce the quality of political discussion -Strengthen social division Responsible political participation should be based on comprehensive and honest information exchange. The public should also cultivate critical thinking, verify complete sources of information, and understand the complete context of speech.
