News vs. Propaganda: What's the difference?

Snip:

The news and propaganda are often difficult to distinguish from one another, but the main difference is that the news is created with an attempt to minimize bias, while propaganda is intentionally biased.

News is created to provide accurate information.

Propaganda is created to manipulate people's actions or opinions.

News tends to focus on past events, while propaganda is designed to affect people's ideas about the present and to influence them in the future.

Had you read what Jim had to say about it?

Here, I’ll help you out:

“Our Bloggers Forum ( http://www.freerepublic.com/tag/bloggers-forum/index )
is open to all liberty-loving bloggers to post their great work to FR. But
our readers are mostly interested in reading relevant posts in their entirety
on FR without having to click to an unknown outside website where who knows
what kind of cookies or tracking devices may await them. And they
appreciate it very much when the blog authors join in on the
ensuing conversation and become one of us.”

Whatchoo got to say about that, Starman? I await your response.

I recently spent time in a waiting room which had 1 -- exactly one -- magazine. It was an issue of Time magazine. I haven't glanced at a copy in years. Two things struck me:

1) Incredibly thin magazine. There was just not much to it.
2) Every page seemed to gush with an obscene amount of Obama worship. Not even an attempt at equal coverage for any other political viewpoint. He is just so awesome, and we are just so lucky to have him!! What else can you say??
