    This picture shows some truth in how, the government controls everything and how they don't tell the truth about everything. They alter and make up stories.

    This qualifies as propaganda because it is showing how the government takes over our lives, and tells what we should do and say. It is beneficial because it is telling us that wed need to look out and be our own person, when the government tells us to say or do something.They are selling the message by showing how the news tells us to say some things. The emotional appeal is associations because they are using the famous person to get your attention in looking at what they are trying to prove.
