Propaganda is REAL

Propaganda in the United States is spread by both government and media entities.Propaganda is information, ideas, or rumors deliberately spread widely to influence opinions. It's used in advertising, radio, newspaper, posters, books, television, and other media.

A law went into effect this month that ends the ban on U.S. government-made propaganda from being broadcast to Americans. In a remarkably creative spin, the supporters of this law say that allowing Americans to see American propaganda is actually a victory for transparency.

As Foreign Policy's John Hudson explains, the Smith-Mundt Modernization Act of 2012 went into effect July 2, and allows government-made news — which includes products like Voice of America, Radio Free Europe, and the Middle East Broadcasting Networks — to reach Americans. In the 1970s Sen. William Fulbright said these outlets "should be given the opportunity to take their rightful place in the graveyard of Cold War relics" because, as he and his allies argued, U.S. taxpayers should not have to pay for propaganda directed at them. But now these agencies say that's actually unfair to taxpayers. Broadcasting Board of Governors spokeswoman Lynne Weil told FP it's actually best for taxpayers to be able to see the propaganda, so they can serve as a check on it. "Now Americans will be able to know more about what they are paying for with their tax dollars--greater transparency is a win-win for all involved," she said. Likewise, a former government official said: "Previously, the legislation had the effect of clouding and hiding this stuff…. Now we'll have a better sense: Gee, some of this stuff is really good. Or gee, some of this stuff is really bad. At least we'll know now."

90% of all media is owned by the following companies Comcast, Walt Disney Company, Time Warner, 21st Century Fox, and National Amusements. In 1983 the same control was held by 50 companies, but now that number has dwindled. AT&T, Sinclair, Verizon and Alphabet round out some of the other giants. With this much control over what is said and pushed out thru these puppets we have no chance but to listen to there agenda and propaganda. They report the same news offer the same view point and program your mind to there liking. Don't belive me, just look at every flash flag, same view point, and there is always a survivor that lives near your local media outlet. Look closely and question everything
