    This is harmful because most people would agree that this 'accusion' is fake. President Obama obviously was born in America so it just won't help at all for people to worry about it.

    This is harmful because this person is going out of their way to try to prove something that isn't true.

    I think this ad is harmful because it is unnecessary to attack Obama. He is no longer president and he doesn't need to be questioned about where he was born because he is not someone to distrust.

    This is a harmful example of propaganda because it creates a distrust in the ex-president that causes controversy and division of people.

    I think this propaganda is somewhat harmful because the creator of the video is kind of taking advantage of the fact most people do not know much about photoshop, but is making them believe he is 100% correct, in order to show the public that the president's birth certificate is fake, which is not good because as stated above it can turn people against the leader of our country.

    If I saw this, and had no other information about the situation, I would believe it without question. This could lead a person to believe our government is looking to fool us, this could lead someone to demonize our former president. It is an incredibly dangerous piece of media.
