    Is it propaganda when it’s 100% true? Is it called propaganda because it’s pro-foreign?

      The most effective propaganda is either true, or has been repeated so long, loud, and often, people refuse to believe it’s a lie.

      Propaganda is just media with a specific social or politcal bias it is trying to convince the reader of. It has nothing to do with veracity. Even advertising is a form of propaganda.
