It's called the Smith-Mundt act and it made it illegal for the US to propagandize it's own citizens (lol as if it's ever stopped them). It was a reactionary law created as a virtue signal against Nazi Propaganda after WW2 but with like most things congress does it was all bs as they never created any body responsible for it's enforcement.

edit: what is really curious is that they bothered to repeal it at all. Like what was the thinking behind removing a law from the books against propagandizing your own citizens that has never seriously been enforced. See also the hatch act.

This article is so biased it is absurd. Present a false premise that is close to the truth but not real and then say "this is not real" ... utter BS.

National Defense Authorization Act - legalizes propaganda, signed by obama Countering Foreign Propaganda and Disinformation Act - asserts necessity of American propaganda, also signed by obama

The media has and always will say whatever they want. When they get in "trouble" they say "no we didn't" and move on to the next variant of bullshit
