Propaganda has been a very influential technique to shape up public opinion. From some virus to tax on education, it influences all walks of life. In current times, the flow of information is very fast-paced but availability of internet allows anyone to post anything online. This makes it really difficult to the masses to differentiate between correct and incorrect info. In my part of the world, epidemics, earthquakes, polio drops and floods all are reported in a way that always helps the politicians.

Your absolutely right the problem is people take a post like this which would have been on the op-ed (opinion editorial) page of the newspaper because its opinion and not fact.
And are those getting it as "useful information" is only seen that way because the lack of supported facts and inability for the common person to vet anything easily.
It leaves people calling America an oligarchy. It isn't yet, but Trump has been trying to make it that way.
Plus the citizen's united ruling created PACs which allowed huge corporate and family held monies tilt the elections......
Thats the destruction of an independent democracy by putting a thumb on the scales of fairness and buying off the peoples representation.
