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 [[McCarthyism]]. 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 [[McCarthyism]].
