>To most people Propaganda is only things they don't believe. But if they believe something, its reality. Interesting. For me propaganda is simply any broadcast that has a hidden agenda. Propaganda can lie, it can tell the truth, or it can be more nuanced, but if its made with an idea of furthering a certain cause it is propaganda and one should treat it all with a grain of salt regardless if it is propaganda aligned with my worldview. There is hostile and friendly propaganda too. Perhaps this "definition" is unique to my generation or area. I remember seeing on Polish TV a brief exchange with some Ukrainian official when a (Polish) reporter made some comment about how effective "your propaganda" is. One could tell there was some offense taken about these words. The reporter was definitely using my definition of propaganda, but was misunderstood. I believe this definition of propaganda is not unique to my country either. A number of countries in the past had "ministries of propaganda". Surely of they considered all propaganda false they would not use that name?
