As far as defining propaganda, I was actually gonna use Chomsky's definition in Media Control. He may get a lot of shit horribly wrong but he nails propaganda
I was just referencing Colin Powell tell the UN that Iraq had loads of WMDs - at the time there was little to no push back in the media, the after 10+ years of war in Iraq, zero WMDs found.
Sticks out in my mind as one of the most egregious sins of the media, lying to start a pointless war.
