very clever propaganda indeed.

our politicians do the same thing.

Madam Secretary [0] was propaganda for Hillary Clinton

Diary of a Future President [1] is propaganda for Michelle Obama

Wow. Without some additional arguments backing that up, this looks really disgusting and misogynistic.

I look forward to seeing some evidence that Diary of a Future President is a cynical piece of propaganda designed to aid the fortunes of Michelle Obama, in order to restore a bit of my faith in humanity.

How is calling that propaganda misogynistic? Not everything that's against a woman is misogyny.

funny how you didn't call out the OP and ask them for "some additional arguments backing" up their claim that the Iranian TV show was propaganda, but here you do when its American politicians.

Isn't that a bit hypocritical?

as for context, a good book on the subject is "manufacturing consent" by Noam Chomsky. In it he details how american media of all forms is used as a propaganda vehicle in order to shape and create the american public's politics.

The TV shows linked are just applications of that strategy.
