That's a narrow view of propaganda. You can manipulate through honesty as well.
- lupire 5y agoI think you are taking a wide view of "honesty".
- klyrs 5y ago"Don't eat lead paintchips, they cause brain damage" is an example of honest and beneficial propaganda
- zero_deg_kevin 5y agoIs it dishonest for reporters to report factually-accurate on sensational crimes if the reporting leads people to believe sensational crimes happen often? Which circle of hell do I end up in for posting about Shark Week on social media?
- BugsJustFindMe 5y agoThat's still being dishonest by omission about relative danger. I meant like the "lead paint is harmful" example that klyrs gave. Getting people to check for lead in their homes is also manipulation, but it's positive.
