The goal of modern propaganda is no longer to transform opinion but to arouse an active and mythical belief.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
To swallow and follow, whether old doctrine or new propaganda, is a weakness still dominating the human mind.
That's basically what's going on now: Everything is propaganda.
In time of war, truth is always replaced by propaganda.
Why is propaganda so much more successful when it stirs up hatred than when it tries to stir up friendly feeling?
These days politics, religion, media seem to get all mixed up. Television became the new religion a long time back and the media has taken over.
Increasingly, people have very little tolerance for anything that smacks of propaganda.
Propaganda is to a democracy what the bludgeon is to a totalitarian state.
Propaganda, to be effective, must be believed. To be believed, it must be credible. To be credible, it must be true.
The media has become more forceful, has begun to recognize its traditional historic role and act on it, and truth is infectious.
Propaganda is a soft weapon; hold it in your hands too long, and it will move about like a snake, and strike the other way.
