The Smith Mundt Act of 1949 prohibited the use of propaganda in any of our media, citing it as a threat to our national security. news agencies from turning into an entertainment outlet, ultimately becoming a threat to our national security. Former President Barack Obama undid this in 2012, reclassifying it as entertainment and allowed them to start using propaganda in our media. All of our media, magazines, newspapers, tv news, and yes, our textbooks. This is why President Trump calls our mainstream media “Fake News”. The people want our news back again. The people want the truth back again.
