But in the modern Internet age, some of those pro-America stories could be read by Americans--and that would be bad (and contrary to strict interpretation of the law). That isn't a problem anymore:
For decades, a so-called anti-propaganda law prevented the U.S. government’s mammoth broadcasting arm from delivering programming to American audiences. But on July 2, that came silently to an end with the implementation of a new reform passed in January. The result: an unleashing of thousands of hours per week of government-funded radio and TV programs for domestic U.S. consumption in a reform initially criticized as a green light for U.S. domestic propaganda efforts.
Of course, you can skip the middle step of spinning the news and just manufacture it. Is this what our president meant when he said he wanted government to be more efficient?
