Since 2016, the mainstream media has changed their journalistic integrity and slide down the mountain into the quagmire of propaganda peddlers.  We found three definitions for the word propaganda:

From the Oxford Dictionary:

Propaganda – information, especially of a biased or misleading nature, used to promote or publicize a particular political cause or point of view.

From the Britannica:

Propaganda – is the dissemination of information – facts, arguments, rumors, half-truths, or lies     – to influence of public opinion. Deliberateness and a relatively heavy emphasis on manipulation distinguish propaganda from casual conversation or the free and easy exchange of ideas.

From the Urban Dictionary:

Propaganda – the spreading of ideas, information, or rumor for the purpose of helping or injuring an institution, a cause, or a person.

At The Maverick Observer we are going to add ‘DUMB’ to the end of the word and use ‘propaganDUMB’ going forward. Our definition is below.

From The Maverick Observer:

Propagandumb – the state of big media today, culminating in little interest in facts, accuracy, or true journalism, instead focusing on “likes” and the money garnered from the sensationalized propaganda.

The TMO will continue to use propagandumb going forward.
