Changes
1920s to 1940s
I suggest someone else more familiar with the [[Noam Chomsky]] and [[Edward Herman]] model tackle this next. As it stands it is influenced more by the [[Jane Jacobs]] and [[George Lakoff]] views, which are now covered better under [[secession]] and [[conceptual metaphor]].
Although secession relies on conceptual metaphor, and moral politics relies on conceptual metaphor, and point of view relies somewhat on conceptual metaphor, I have tried to leave these concepts relate mostly through [[propaganda]] self, the core concept here. That [[propaganda]] and [[political economy]] have a necessary relationship is one way to characterize the theory of [[moral politics]] itself. If one rejects this, one might reject this present article defining propaganda, in favour of one more directly descended from Chomsky and Herman.
I look forward to edit wars on this, the more so now that there are three different propaganda detection strategies related. I don't see how one can separate these from [[point of view]] ultimately. This is very very complex.
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.

== 1920s to 1940s ==
The [[Jacques Ellul]] ideas are interesting, probably the the period from the late 1920s to the early 1940s needs more coverage. [[Jacques Ellul]] talks about "molding the man" or something like that, did not the Soviets and the Nazis use this kind of propaganda on their own people (with different content of course)?
Also, it is considered [[propaganda]] to describe some one else's views as [[propaganda]], does it work that way too?
I hate to take this to a ridiculous point, but if every one accuses every one else of using [[propaganda]], then who is actually using [[propaganda]]?
These are serious questions. May be I do not understand the term well enough.
