BUT it would be unethical if it was used, for example, to create the impression that something is the prevalent or mainstream, or the most popular opinion when it isnt. propaganda tactics
- qb45 10y agoI think posing as a "high-status" member of some "group" and spamming them with some cooked message qualifies as propaganda.
- return0 10y agoTrue true. And there are many degrees of propaganda. But its not a free speech issue
- sverige 10y agoYou've accurately described the talking heads on the Sunday shows.
- jessedhillon 10y agoNobody mistakes pundits as having high status.

Many families in the U.S. take these talking heads as gospel, relying on talking heads to decide for them what is true. YouTube has niche talking heads that thrive based on their patreon accounts as they put taking head vids on YouTube. It's why we keep getting more talking heads of all affiliations; people respect them and hold them in high regard.
