In 1960, Dr. Burke's educational TV program was entitled A Way of Thinking, though the name changed thoughout various years of production from 1951-1964. His "way of thinking" relied on factual information, reason, analysis of cause and effect, juxtaposition, anecdote and analogy — not [[Propaganda]] or mere opinion. As such, his way of thinking is still sorely needed in the 2020s where stubborn, mindless opinionatedness and [[Propaganda]] are rampant, having reached greater and greater heights over more than half a century since the 1960s.<br> | In 1960, Dr. Burke's educational TV program was entitled A Way of Thinking, though the name changed thoughout various years of production from 1951-1964.

Dr. Burke spoke out against the [[Propaganda]] of his day, what he termed the name-calling, new dangerous parlor game of "creeping socialism" that appeared in the late 50s-60s under influence of the [[Conservatism|John Birch Society]], rooted in abuses of [[McArthyism]]. That game, a sort of baiting tactic that seeks to inflame emotion, has only escalated since then, leading to the current polarized political situation in which "evidence-free" conspiracies predominate — from communism to sexism and racism. After having begun in earnest in political Conservatism of the 1950s-60s, the "game" proceeded to reach a flashpoint around the JFK assassination, after which the "game" went viral into the 3rd Millenium where political Liberalism eventually became infected as well, with its own mutated strain of "woke" parlor game.<br> | Dr. Burke spoke out against the [[Propaganda]] of his day, what he termed the name-calling, new dangerous parlor game of "creeping socialism" that appeared in the late 50s-60s under influence of the [[Conservatism|John Birch Society]], rooted in abuses of [[McArthyism]].
