To me lying and propaganda are one and the same. Propaganda just means you know it's not true but telling it anyway. What's the difference?
The difference is the media could already do all those things. There have never been any restrictions on the media. The NDAA reboot didn't change that. What it did was change what the government could do, how the government could "encourage" the media to run specific stories of it's design.
Even there, it was already happening and had been for forever. Government propaganda never stopped running. The Church Commission found that out in great detail. Another commission (forget the name) in the early 90s found out that that situation never changed, and the promises of the CIA to desist were lies.
All HR4310 did was make the actions of the DoD, CIA, etc., that had been illegal since 1948 (but never actually stopped) legal again. This means that it made it legal for the GOVERNMENT to push propaganda, through the media, legally.
This eliminated the need for explaining away those pesky congressional investigations, because now there couldn't be one, because it wasn't illegal.
I see. Just legalize what they have been doing before?
Yes. The point is, it had nothing to do with the media directly, just the government. By confusing the issue with false claims like "it made it legal for the media to lie," it distracts from what it really did, and gives fact checkers a real path to "debunk" it.
In other words, that phrase itself is fuckery, almost certainly put out there by the CIA.
I stop listening to the fact checkers a long time ago but I understand what you are saying now.
