Talk:Black propaganda

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Removed "War on Terror" black propaganda example - while the basic notion of US influence on published "War on Terror" material is arguable, the argument is incoherent and the paragraph states that "1) Osama bin Laden reportedly died before that tape was released". If a contemporary example is to be placed on an encyclopedia, it should be either better argued or on a more relevant page. Further, reader opinions should be discussed on this page rather than the main article.

[edit] Questioning War on Terror propaganda

I stated Bin Laden died before the tape was released. That was sloppy on my part. Apparently, according to this http://www.int.iol.co.za/index.php?set_id=1&click_id=3&art_id=qw100928556223B212 source, Bin Laden died at roughly the same time the tape was released (mid-December 2001). So my statement then that the authenticity of the tape was questionable based on this chronology was mistaken. However, this site http://www.whatreallyhappened.com/osamatape.html takes apart the "confession tape" and offers plenty of reasons why we should question its authenticity. If the tape is, as I believe, inauthentic, logic plainly suggests the tape qualifies as black propaganda. - Ron Leighton http://twains_ghost.typepad.com/

Actually, no. Logic would suggest that it is "gray propoganda" (going by the wikipedia definitions), since we don't know who released it or why. 216.220.57.164 14:23, 10 August 2006 (UTC)sean

[edit] 'Liberal' media

how about the so-called 'liberal' media, this seems like it would be a good place to put it.. All the media does is complain that the media is dominated by liberals AND then when it's done doing that it praises george bush, maybe it's time to admit that the media is about as 'liberal' as george bush is 'compasionate' - 172.130.147.138 02:56, 15 July 2005 (UTC)

Ann Coulter too, there is no way she's conservative, she can't even articulate a conservative position, which is why she resorts to ignorant name-calling and provocation. She does nothing but lower most people's views of conservatives. 205.188.117.73 02:56, 8 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] COINTELPRO black panther coloring book

If any of this can be backed up with some cites, it's an excellent example of black propaganda. Black as in shady, not black as in African. http://www.whatreallyhappened.com/RANCHO/POLITICS/COINTELPRO/coloring.html Qwasty 19:44, 3 September 2006 (UTC)
