Biden appointee advocated using propaganda against Americans & 'rethinking' 1st Amendment

Biden state media appointee advocated using propaganda against Americans and 'rethinking' First Amendment - The Grayzone



Richard Stengel was TIME Magazine's managing editor from 2006-2013. He's now leading Joe Biden's transition team for the US Agency for Global Media.

"My old job at the State Department was what people used to joke as the chief propagandist," Stengel said in 2018. "I’m not against propaganda. Every country does it, and they have to do it to their own population. And I don’t necessarily think it’s that awful." Stengel has proposed "rethinking" the First Amendment that guarantees the freedom of speech and press. In 2018, he stated, "Having once been almost a First Amendment absolutist, I have really moved my position on it, because I just think for practical reasons in society, we have to kind of rethink some of those things."

 

you mean like blasting the airwaves with anti-smoking ads or dietary recommendations in our schools, think the food pyramid - gov propaganda has been done for a long time

I suppose it depends on the propaganda right?

Trump has been blasting us with his propaganda for years

the question is not will the government continue to push propaganda, but what will they push

 

It's imperialist propaganda.

 

Unfortunately propaganda is useful. Almost every political meme on Facebook is misleading but why do people/organizations/foreign entities keep creating them? If you're unhappy that most of the population can be easily manipulated, take a long look in the mirror.
