Sure okay. but having multiple varied sources SHOULD be better than a limited handful of sources solely controlled by those in power and already with influence. So long as you understand basic fact checking practices and know how to tell the difference between facts and opinion. . It's just that you KIND of made it sound like only getting information from a few mainstream sources [which can be victim to the same downfalls and often politically biased -cough- fox news] is safer and better than taking in information from a free-global market of exchanging ideas.

Hi, My name is Soraya and I work with a Brazilian media literacy project named -EDUCAMIDIA [supported by Google and Instituto Palavra Aberta]. Our goal is to spread the media literacy movements in schools, offering resources and promote professional development to teachers and educators. We found your video very pertinent and useful as a resource. Thank you! So we contributed with the translation for Portuguese. We just sent the closed captions for your approval.

What is the difference between campaigns and truthful propaganda? They seem like just different ways to say the same thing. Both intend to persuade, both intend to change or manipulate behavior. It seems to me, that the difference is whether the campaign or propaganda fits with your world view. To some people it is advertising, to others it is propaganda.

I would like to say this Crash Course series should be recommended and perhaps even required viewing in schools. Adults could benefit from it too. Is it perfect? No. Should you apply the same standard to it that it encourages you to apply to media in general? Yup. But Jay Smooth gives you some great tools to work with in these videos!

What about disinformation intentionally being presented as misinformation? What about -propaganda- label being painted on true information because it is harmful or unwanted? These are concepts important to media literacy, I should have been hearing about this in the video.

Haha, mis/disinformation on a show about dis/misinformation. ;) I suppose it was inevitable. -Facts- are slippery little devils. ;)
ps if the difference between dis- and misinformation is intention, I can't claim to know anyone intention here.

Titanic is a perfectly fine movie until the very end, when Rose throws a HISTORICALLY SIGNIFICANT ARTIFACT INTO THE BLOODY OCEAN because -love or whatever-. So, sorry: I'm my own evil twin on that one.

Even comic books were propaganda in the 1940's, Captain America, Wonder Woman, and like a dozen other heroes in star-spangled leotards whose stories never made it out of their decade.

Yeah sadly the ones typically doing the coordinated campaigns to support wars are eager corporate media outlets on both right and left. No need for government involvement at all.
