Modern day propaganda

While searching for ex-Yu propaganda posters, I couldn't help but wonder-...
Are we nowdays subject to more subtile form of propaganda?
Is it coming from corporations or governments, or can we even make a difference between the two?
Where in the World are the people more influenced by it?
Is it the "free" West, or communist countries, or maybe states with non secular governments?

Topics: Freedom of speech Propaganda freedom of choice

    because this so-called "Information age" is numbing / Dumbing the general public with volume and Lack of Quality ( iow Truth) a publication "The Dumbing Up of America" might be of ref. for you.

    Prehaps not where you are ,....but in North America .....the Media ...is based on "anything goes" ...and they are getting away with it.

    On the WWW here, for example, only approx. 15% is actually accurate information ...
