    This is still propaganda, as the evidence provided to a describe an individual is all negative. In order to have a fair basis for information, there should be information coming from both supporters and demoters.

    This ad's purpose is to cause more controversy towards Hilary Clinton. In this ad it is also trying to tear her down and make her look bad. The audience of this ad is anyone following political news, including anti-Hilary and pro-Hilary fans. One technique used in this ad is the use of the internet because everyone uses it and it is known to everyone so it is a way to broadcast their message. This ad could go either way for being successful because it is funny and catches people's attention, but it is all opinionated and not factual.

    This ad is controversial since it attacks Hilary Clinton and is trying to put people against her. It can be considered harmful because it is attacking the opponent.

    I agree with the uploader that these sentence stems are attempts to normalize opinions about a political candidate—the intention being that, if this autopopulates due to a high number of searches, then most people must hold the opinion that Hillary is in some way reprehensible (we, I think globally, consider racism, murder, and lying reprehensible)
