People who hate reality shows are really just old, humorless sourpusses. what propaganda technique does the writer employ in this statement?

To answer this, let's take into consideration the seven types of propaganda we could use to categorize this sentence.

- Glittering Generalities (praising and glorifying)
- Name calling (self-explanatory)
- Testimonial (using accounts of relatable people)
- Plain folks (appeals to regular people and their values)
- Bandwagon (appeals to people's want of being part of a group)
- Transfer (helps the audience imagine themselves as part of the picture)
- Card-stacking (making it too good to be true, often by manipulation)

Because this statement uses names that can be considered offensive and derogatory, this would be an example of name-calling propaganda.
