Propaganda

Speaking of Freedom, Time and Trust Truth…

Word o’ the week: Propaganda

Or, in America, rebranded and made into a government agency: “The Counsel of Public Relations.” You know, it sounds better.

Ads targeting kids, misleading and false or exaggerated information for the purpose of profits or political endeavors. 

It is estimated that advertisers spend more than $12 billion per year to reach the youth market and that children view more than 40,000 commercials each year. These figures represent dramatic increases over those from the 1970s.  APA.

Is there any place a kid can go and not be manipulated by ads?
