On Propaganda
How do we feel about propaganda? And what would the definition be?
As far as I understand it, propaganda is simply a tool used to convey political messages accurately and concisely in hopes to get people over to whatever side it is coming from. Am I wrong in this?
Is there a "good" propaganda and "bad" propaganda?
EDIT: Rephrased some things

No, you're absolutely right. The word itself though got a pejorative meaning of "propaganda=lie", and that's because two factors: first, there absolutely is good and bad propaganda, just as any information can be good or bad, and overwhelmingly most important second factor, that making word "propaganda" a bad word in itself is the tactic of liberal media - they portray their own propaganda as objective facts, and everything that is not adhering to it as propaganda, therefore automatically as lie. It's the same postpolitic tactic as TINA, human nature etc. (and the word "politic" is a bad word too in liberal doublespeak).
-1This sounds similar to the word "conspiracy" becoming an inherent negative and not what the definition of the word is.
Thank you for the explanation, that was very helpful!
