Your tax dollars at work: "How the American government is trying to control what you think."

Unlike the National Security Agency’s personal data collection or the overuse of “secret” stamps to withhold information, this government-produced propaganda receives almost no attention. But that doesn’t mean this “third dimension” of government information is not a problem. America becomes less democratic when the $3 trillion executive branch uses its resources to tilt the debate in its favor.

I've found a very easy way to spot propaganda coming from the gov't and mainstream media and it is this: "If it's coming from Gov't or mainstream media then it is proaganda".. Case closed...

Becoming less democratic isn't such a bad thing - it depends on the context. After all, our founders weren't game for a tyranny of the majority situation.
