Propaganda is the dissemination of information aimed at influencing the opinions or behaviors of people. As opposed to impartially providing information, propaganda in its most basic sense, often presents information primarily in order to influence its audience. Propaganda often presents facts selectively (thus lying by omission) to encourage a particular synthesis, or gives loaded messages in order to produce an emotional rather than rational response to the information presented. The desired result is a change of the attitude toward the subject in the target audience to further a political agenda.

Socialism will not stand on its own merits and requires propaganda to maintain its' power over voters.

We have had 150 years to dissect socialism in theory. We have had 100 years to see socialism in action. Socialism, extensive government control over the economy, is a disaster in theory and a disaster in practice

Capitalism works by protecting private property and freedom of contract, thereby encouraging people to use their abilities and resources to produce goods and services that are most likely to be urgently demanded by others.

    Seems how NBC is owned by GE, the head of GE goes back many years with Obama, a large percentage of the print media is owned by Geoge Soros, who is pulling strings behind the scenes of Obama's administration, why would we believe them? Are the reporters who tend to be liberal going to stick their neck out and report something unfavorable about the chosen one and risk being fired? So many of these media outlets are tied to big bussinesses and government alliances it is pathedic. Unfortunately, the reporting of news becomes commentary and agenda driven instead of factal reporting.

    Interesting thought. Now that Obama has a large stake in GE and all of this green technology contracts being given to them, and he is pulling the purse strings of the once troubled company, does Obama indirectly control the content and reporting of NBC?

    They're crap, just like any other television "news." The fact that the person who asked this question doesn't recognize that, only shows that they are truly clueless.

    Let me see here,,,,, Let me follow the connections..... MSNBC and NBC are owned and controlled by G.E which is currently being run by Jeff Immelt who has allowed GE to trade and deal in Iran, who sits on an advisory board for the Almighty O, who has GE lined up with all kinds of green programs that he needs the government to endorse and push or else he will be SOL, who recently described a new vision of expanded government participation and CONTROL in industry. He seems to be the corporate socialist Judas needed by Obama to legitimse and promote Obama's take over of the private sector. DO YOU THINK THAT ANYTHING REPORTED BY NBC OR MSNBC WILL BE OTHER THEN SUNSHINE COMING OUT OF OBAMA'S A$$. The American public will never get a fair and unbaised news bit out of either NBC or MSNBC because their owners have too much invested in the Almighty O and his screwy socialist plans.


    Cripes you can even see Obama's lips move when you listen to Immelt speak, Obama's hand is so far up his a$$ he is tickeling his tonsils. No wonder GE's stock is in the toilet.

    I stopped watching any station that supported Obama during the campaign days. I figure if these news outlets are not willing to give fair coverage they don't deserve my support in any shape form or fashion. I hope their all fail and file bankruptcy then have to grovel at the feet of the American people to beg them to support them while apologizing profusely for their unfair coverage and support of corruptness.

    why is it "neo-con" hatred? i'm not a neo-con, and i don't hate obama. i don't even know him. hannity has probably never met obama and o'rieilly interviewed him once. i don't get the impression either one of these guys "hate" obama. i know hannity hates his political philosophy and so do i. many other americans feel the same way. but that isn't the point. nbc and it's affiliates have proven how far left they are and this cannot be disputed. obama is a socialist and they are in the tank for him, so how can you argue this point?

    proving what point? it does not take a rhodes scholar to listen to any "news" broadcast from nbc, msnbc, cnbc, cnn, abc, cbs, to figure out how everyone of these leftist organisations, did everything they possibly could, to get obama elected. journalists are supposed to be neutral. none of the anchors on these channels, qualify in any way, of being neutral.

    Absolutely they are. Just think that the left stream media was complicit in getting this president elected. It is so apparent to those that are "fine tuned" in their quest for the truth. For those that are not, which unfortunately it's too many Americans, they swallow it hook, line and sinker as "real" news.

    This media paints an ugly pictures of those they appose and a pretty picture for those they support. They twist a word here and there or simply omit a word to change the meaning and context of a particular phrase or comment. It's all about the presentation and they are masters of it. My guess is that the American people will eventually tire of it as new revelation comes to light. It's happening now.

    Yes, NBC and MSNBC are the Propaganda Outlet for the Socialist Movement in the USA. What else is new? They are all in bed with NObama and his cohorts. But since both networks are in financial trouble, it would serve them right if they were bought by a conservative group. I would laugh so hard!

    I am more afraid that Obama would feel the necessicity to bail them out with taxpayer money. Just think, he could bail them out and when the ratings still did not go up, he could take them over like he did the auto companies. He could run the television news media just like he took over Chrysler. Then it would officially be state propanganda tv just like in Russia.

    First off. This is a biased question. The wording of the poll seeks to influence the responder by presenting a favorable description of capitalism and an unfavorable description of socialism.

    Secondly. Propaganda is mainly a tool of the capitalists who use it as a means to influence consumers to purchase one product (theirs) as opposed to anothers(the competitors).

    Hope you and your cousin had a good visit. All my cousins are in California. Don't see too much of them.
