What is propaganda
"Propaganda, to be effective, must be believed. To be believed, it must be credible. To be credible it must be true." - Hubert H. Humphrey

What was the solution?
" Propaganda is information desinged to shape public opinion. Radio, Moives, and all the popular media provided the U.S. government with an effective means of funneling wartime information to the people. At the same time, these media forms gave people on the homefront a welcome escape from the war."
World War II had ended and the commotion died down.
