What is propaganda? Dictionary.com states that propaganda is information, ideas, or rumors deliberately spread widely to help or harm a person, group, movement, institution, nation, etc. Where do most people today get information about things? I would guess probably through the commercials on television or from ads on a website. Companies try to get people to buy their products or use their services and would make themselves benevolent and their products as the best. For some of these ads or commercials, it may be true. Though, most of the time, they are all lies or not the complete truth.
Fast food restaurants make their food seem like they are delicious, which they are (most of the time..), but they do not tell people that they use products with high fructose corn syrup, trans fat, or other harmful things. Bud lite or any alcohol commercials always depict people enjoying their beer but never do they show the aftermath of drinking.
Anyways, this world is full of lies and incomplete truths. Be careful of what you see because it might be gilded.
