As I said, someone who knows the Chomsky/Herman model to the point of dogma should try to challenge this. It's an extraordinarily hard thing to write about, propaganda, when your audience is (a) global (b) not used to thinking of itself as having any [[systemic bias]] of [[English-speaking peoples]] and of [[Internet]] pre-requisites, and (c) possibly of all political stripes and all possible variations on the question of "what is truth". So taking an anti-imperial view may be just out the only thing one can really do in this article. ---- [[User_talk:Propagator]] suggests a tension between this [[social capital]] focused definition, which can be said to have the effect of "defining everything as propaganda" and being overly broad, and the traditional and academic definitions that date from the 1950s and 1960s. A problem with the latter is that they deal poorly with [[information warfare]] and come from days before [[persuasion technology]] was so pervasive, which in combination have the effect of speeding up the rate at which so-called "[[spin]]" occurs. A more technical and abstract definition is required when one is trying to ''detect'' and ''expose'' this stuff in more or less real time. But, the academic definitions come from a time when there was still luxury of time to ''study'' and ''classify'' propaganda. I think that time is over. Other opinions? - [[User:142.177.etc|A.
