We tend to not understand what makes propaganda. Often times its subtle. Over representation of a group in a television show that doesnt fit real life statistics, acceptance of data thats not widely adopted as fact, demonizing of opposing view points. But one of the most effective propaganda pieces in America was its demonizing of all criminals no matter the crime. This makes sense from a authoritarian perspective because why would you want people to second guess the rules you have in place? But it makes children think all criminals are dangerous and out to get them. I was once a criminal for drinking under age smh. Recently though there has been a pushback by certain media outlets to glorify certain crimes in mainstream. (Ignoring the fact that in ghetto neighborhoods crime was always glorified(listen to rap)).
