US propaganda machine - in a story on China, the king of propaganda. The irony is thick. There's no central spin on US media. Certainly trump would love to have that power, because the media is endlessly critical of him. China on the other hand has a very well developed central propaganda machine.
- DoofusOfDeath 8y agoIt sounds like you're arguing that because China has extensive propaganda operations, it follows that the U.S. doesn't, or that they're ineffective, or irrelevant? It would be helpful if you could clarify your point and your argument.
- barrkel 8y agoEloff appears to think that propaganda needs to be centrally directed by the government for it to count.
- barrkel 8y agoMake no mistake, the US continually pumps out propaganda. The Establishment position is generally reflected in most cultural output, and if your output doesn't conform, a lot of angry people will come after you, just like they're gunning for Alex Jones. I don't disagree much with American Establishment propaganda, but to deny the bias in almost all cultural output is foolish. And yes, Trump is a victim of Establishment propaganda. He deserves it most of the time, but the times he doesn't are what gives his followers the oxygen to shout fake news alongside him.
- barrkel 8y agoI don't normally comment on downvotes, but the downvotes are actually evidence of orthodox view policing, proving my point! :)
- colordrops 8y agoIt's not a secret or a conspiracy that the US puts out propaganda. What does China's propaganda have to do with my comment? You are changing the subject.
