True. I don't think that most people give the prevalence of propaganda
much thought. I'm always incredulous when some of my co-workers
unquestioningly accept mainstream news stories. Not that these stories
are untrue, sometimes they are, sometimes not, but even the frequency of
the airing of the stories and the tone in which the stories are presented
constitute propaganda.

Anti-Smoking propaganda campaigns are maddening. Any sensible person
would realize that smoking is seriously bad for your health, yet every
day, some new study is released showing that tropical fish raised in the
homes of smokers are more likely to have breast or prostate cancer than
those raised in non-smokers homes. (I am being facetious here).

Oddly enough, because the perceived outcome of the anti-smoking campaigns
is good, the campaign itself is not perceived as propaganda, yet it is.

Dr., it simply makes for a wonderful study of propaganda.

So far as I can tell, any country in recent history that has been
exposed to the U.S. Air Force or U.S. Navy has come away from the

in its ground conflict in Iraq, perhaps a different story.
