President Wilson- The Rise of Government Sponsored Propaganda...
President Wilson was among the first world leaders to use government sponsored propaganda on a wide scale...
When the United States declared war against Germany in 1917, he created the Committee on Public Information
( CPI), which represented for the first time that a modern government disseminated propaganda on such a large scale (d'Aymery). The CPI implemented voluntary giudelines for the news media, and whie it did not have direct enforcement powers, it's giudelines almost extended to censorship powers.
It's tactics were so effective that Hitler and Goebbels modeled their system of propaganda in the 1930's on CPI'S policies. Adolph Hitler bluntly discussed the use of propaganda in his book, Mein Kampf, in which he shared Machiavelli's low regard for his audience's intellectual capabilities...
All of the propaganda we see today in, Iraq, Iran, Afghan,
at home in the good ol' USA and most other countries, was modeled after Wilson's CPI...

Propaganda exists everywhere in the world. I think we had a lot of propaganda from the terror networks leading up to September 11, 2001...

Propaganda existed since time began. Simple as the written word. It just didn't get the mass audience until the radio,television, now the internet. |

The point being, the modern form of propaganda didn't start with the Cavemen, Miss, Lady, it started with Wilson. |
