  Agitprop
Short for agitatsiya propaganda (Russian for agitation propaganda), agitprop began as a term for Communist propaganda designed to agitate public opinion, typically communicated through cinema, literature, art or music.
The term is now used more generically to refer to any form of mass media, such as a television program or film, that subtly (or not so subtly) tries to influence opinion for political, commercial or other ends.
For example, a television cartoon might be described as 'agitprop' if it could be interpreted as a marketing ploy to sell toys.

 Michael Moore Unravels Before the Oscars   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
Michael Moore and his agitprop film "Fahrenheit 9/11" were nowhere to be found on the lists of Academy Awards nominees released last week.
Moore, using what have become his familiar tactics, responded by staging a media-grabbing public demonstration, by going on a Bay Area radio show to accuse Berman (as MacFarquhar described) "of being a traitor to the left and giving aid and comfort to [President Ronald] Reagan," and by suing Mother Jones for $2 million.
A key influence shaping Moore's mind and values were stories of his uncle (via Moore's 1982 marriage) Laverne, who at a seminal moment in labor history in 1936-37 had taken part in the 44-day sit-in at a General Motors factory in Flint.
