The U.S. has been doing this with VOA for almost a century. This is basically the same tactics, but in a new information space. The main point is marketing and propagation of ideology to render it competitive. The vehicles and the methods are incidental, and depend on info consumption preferences, really.
- fortuna86 4y agoVOA was one of the only sources for accurate reporting behind the iron curtain. You are discrediting them by referring to them only as propaganda.
- asdff 4y agoYou can report things accurately and still be serving propaganda. Its about what you are choosing to highlight, what language you use to describe something, and what you choose to omit from your narrative.
- greenhearth 4y agoWhere did I say they were only propaganda? I agree that they were factual. But the main purpose was to pump Western culture into the Soviet Bloc. This was my point.
