The term "public relations" is literally propaganda to make propaganda look better. It was just called propaganda before WWII but then there was a propaganda campaign to increase local resistance to propaganda from the Nazis and then the Communists. And it worked, so they needed more propaganda to get the local propaganda to work again.

I bet you listen to podcasts.

This was bait to get you to mention the podcasts you are listening to so I could either say "me too!" or find something new to listen to.

What you said about propaganda was reminiscent of Amy Westervelt's research in "Rigged."
