We need to reclaim the term PROPAGANDA.
I was amazed at how much damage the Right was able to do labeling
Michael Moore's F9/11 as propaganda.

Time was when you could dismiss the rantings of an idiot like Sean Hannity
as "right-wing propaganda". The right, as usual stealing their ideas from
us, has usurped this tactic. We need to take it back.

Before anyone brings it up, I know that the definition of propaganda is NOT
information that is untrue. But lets face it--in this country that's what it
means to people.

So start inserting these into your emails and LTTE when objecting to the spin
and outright lies of the Right that the press now serve up as truth:
Right-Wing Propaganda, Neo-Con Propaganda, Christian Fundamentalist
Propaganda, etc.

2. Press on the "government propaganda" angle.
Everything that comes out of Fox News particularly, but all of the right-wing noise outlets generally, is domestic psyops.
