A person who doesn't watch Fox news or listen to Rush Limbaugh, Glen Beck, etc., but has friends and family who do, and believes the lies their family and friends pass on from those outlets, can suffer this affliction without ever knowing they've become infected.
In 2004, a democratic friend of mine told me she was voting for George W. Bush because John Kerry lied about his service and should have had a dishonorable release. I asked her if she had started listening to Rush Limbaugh and she was insulted that I would even ask the question.
She was suffering from Secondhand Propaganda and was completely unaware.

Get the sloppy seconds mug.The four-to-six month long exploitation by Partners of people in their primes, generally in their 20s.

During busy season, it is required that each employee work a minimum of 50 charge hours per week or else they are considered a liability to the firm and dead weight. Failure to do this leads to public humiliation and a lowering of future wages and promotion possibilities.
The Partners will tend to use "busy season" to the lawmakers to convince them to legalize sweatshops in first world countries, only with fewer rights and privileges.
During busy season, the exploited are expected to overcome any illnesses, birth defects, funerals, other medical disasters and most of all, sleep, in order to help the Partners fund the purchase of a golden statue of their dogs.
