This explains the key elements of contemporary Russian propaganda, based on its Soviet and Cold War origins.
No matter how bad the U.S. press is, the Russian press is always worse.
How does this differ from what the USA is doing?
Good post. Thanks
#3. You’re welcome.
This is complete nonsense please list concreate examples of Russian propaganda as it relates to Ukraine.
Ukraine is winning the propaganda war. Not even close.
Says the Leftwing Rand Corp.
Taking your question seriously, for the American propaganda look at what the news did to Trump, from Russia Collusion to January 6 and everything in between.
For now, this is how I think it works here. U.S. propaganda is controlled at the corporate and upper political levels using a "official narrative" (agreed lie) and runs with it for as long as they can. When running the narrative, we, the ordinary people, are not allowed to question or hold accountable those in power who create the narrative (remember November 4, 2020?).
Search on "who owns the news" or "media consolidation". From Media Consolidation: The Illusion of Choice , in 1983 50 companies owned 90% of the American news, in 2011 90% was owned by 6 companies. Before 2010, there was much more room in the mainstream news for disagreement, so one view could not dominate the press without getting challenged by other members of the press who had equal means to challenge a narrative.
When they can't they drop it stage by stage. The news is now admitting that Russia Collusion was a fraud, while still holding onto January 6 was Trump's coup. In a few years when they have something else to attack, then maybe they will walk back on January 6.
“This is complete nonsense please list concreate examples of Russian propaganda as it relates to Ukraine.”
“Ukraine is full of Nazis!” Is a big one.
“Russia isn’t invading Ukraine.” Is another.
“Russia is not preparing to invade Ukraine.” completes the trifecta.

If you want examples look up what Lee Camp, Scott Ritter, Larry Johnson, Gonzalo Lira, Col. Douglas Macgregor, the Duran, or what any repeat guest on RT has to say.
I would like to see an analysis of US propaganda, specifically propaganda used on American citizens.
The Delphi Technique: Let’s Stop Being Manipulated!
http://vlrc.org/articles/110.html
The process used to “facilitate” the meeting is called the Delphi Technique. This Delphi Technique was developed by the RAND Corporation for the U.S. Department of Defense back in the 1950s. It was originally intended for use as a psychological weapon during the cold war.
Hilarious that the professional manipulators at RAND are decrying manipulation...
see my post #13 for RAND Corporation irony.
Read up on WWI and George Creel.
sure sounds a lot like NYT,WaPo and CNN
sure sounds a lot like ABC,CBS,NBC
sure sounds a lot like AP,Rooters and DailyMail
“Distinctive Features of the Contemporary Model for Russian Propaganda
1) High-volume and multichannel
2) Rapid, continuous, and repetitive
3) Lacks commitment to objective reality
4) Lacks commitment to consistency.
We characterize the contemporary Russian model for propaganda as “the firehose of falsehood”
Thank goodness we are free from such activities by Washington DC, beacon of honesty. /s

And let me guess, America needs a way to monitor and regulate what we see here in America so we are not lead astray?
Did I guess right?
