‘Every country does it’: Ex-US under secretary of state backs propaganda use (VIDEO)
Published time: 27 May, 2018 16:15


Richard Stengel, once the fourth-ranking official in the US State Department and a former editor at Time, has seemingly backed the use of government propaganda against citizens during a discussion about ‘fake news.’
The former US under secretary of state in the Obama administration, who was also the managing editor of Time magazine from 2006 to 2013, has made a career of writing about disinformation use. In his time in government, Stengel used a State Department blog to describe Russia Today as operating a “disinformation campaign.”
Stengel’s boss at the time, John Kerry, went one step further by calling RT a “propaganda bullhorn.”

In a university workshop organized by the Council On Foreign Relations, a US think tank for journalists, educators and business executives, Stengel now appears to approve of propaganda, which is the dissemination of biased or misleading information with the goal of influencing a certain agenda.
“Basically every country creates their own narrative story,” Stengel said. “My old job at the State Department was what people used to joke [call] the chief propagandist job. I’m not against propaganda, every country does it and they have to do it to their own population and I don’t necessarily think it’s that awful.”

Every child leaving 6th grade should be able to recite and understand at least 5 logical fallacies. (one can find several in every tv ad or in every political ad) critical thinking people!!
