The spreading of ideas, information, or rumor for the purpose of helping or injuring an institution, a cause, or a person. The information doesn’t have to be
false. It is falsely believed that education creates immunity to propaganda; a rational, skeptical outlook.
In fact, it does just the reverse. It creates in
us a disposition to settle for
fancy words and high-sounding slogans instead of results, which means that the educated are often more susceptible to propaganda than the common man.
