Propaganda is a type of message that tries to persuade you to think or do something. It is often used in the United States to get people to believe in something or to do something. An example of propaganda in the United States is when a company or organization sends out messages to try to get people to buy or support their product or idea. The messages can be in the form of posters, commercials, or even articles in newspapers or magazines. These messages often contain information that is only partly true, or designed to frighten, convince, or manipulate the person to get what the company or organization wants.
