Whether the arguments of propaganda are evaluated by history as true or false or their results good or ill, making an argument through words an images has a long history —; especially when the cause to be sold is war.
Long before the Catholic Church gave birth to the term propaganda, individuals and empires were using stories and images to "make their case."

 Dramatica Theory Book - Chapter 37: Storytelling: Reception & Propaganda
Since a propaganda story is based upon a tenuous relationship between an audience and an author, both perspectives should be considered to understand the techniques that can be used and the results that can be achieved.
The upside (from an author's point of view) is that generalized propaganda is difficult for an audience to identify and therefore more difficult to combat than the specific form of propaganda.

 Sovereign Individual: Prescription Or Propaganda?

Propaganda, to be credible, according to the Central Intelligence Agency psychological operations people, must tell the truth at least 80% of the time, and must tell the complete, even inconvenient truth enough of the time to appear balanced and unbiased.

Propaganda's similarities to publicity were a fourth reason for the low reputation it acquired.
Faced with the threat of Nazi and fascist propaganda in Latin America in the 1930s, the State Department reacted not with a counter-propaganda agency, but with the creation of the Division of Cultural Relations (1938), the mandate of which was to use only education and culture, not propaganda, to accomplish its mission.
This ambivalent attitude toward propaganda is also reflected in Voice of America broadcasts during the war years, which omitted reports on the Holocaust for fear that they would be considered atrocity stories and thus not be believed.

 Amazon.com: Propaganda: Books: Jacques Ellul   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
Perhaps Ellul's most important insight was that the educated believed themselves immune to propaganda when, due to their proclivity for reading and watching news and other governmental outflow, such "intellectuals" were actually far more vulnerable than masses who did not receive propaganda as often.
Propaganda, ANY propaganda, regardless of motives or veracity, serves to reduce the individual to function as a meaningless syphon.
The biggest drawback is that the book published today is the same as that published in 1965 (Ellul died in 1994 and no real updated edition was ever produced), and the cases analyzed may seem obsolete, in that he focuses primarily on National Socialist, Maoist, Soviet and US cold war propaganda.

 Propaganda in a Democracy
When Edward Bernays, proclaimed by many as the father of public relations, published his book "Propaganda" in 1928, few people realized the far-reaching influence that the new discipline of public relations would have on society.
What is truly pernicious about much of the propaganda that surrounds us in the west is the very "reasonableness" of it--the way in which we are taught to believe that it somehow represents our real needs.
For the goal of a propagandist--no matter what his or her stripe--is to make a sale of some kind by seeking to convince us that they understand our inner or outer needs and goals and are responding to them.

 Amazon.com: Propaganda and Persuasion: Books: Garth S. Jowett,Victoria O'Donnell   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
Since reading the book it appears that when most people say "x is propaganda" what they really mean is "x is an opinion/fact that I don't really like and want to suppress by labeling it propaganda." In this sense the word propaganda is frequently a "white" form of propaganda itself.
However, this book failed to pass the ultimate textbook test, at the end of the semester almost all of the students I took the class with trashed or resold the book.
At this point, several books by conservative authors like Limbaugh, Bennett, and Bloom are referenced, and the authors start using a lot of "quotes" when referring to these authors--of the sort you use when you want to indicate that a thought is silly or wrongheaded.

 How Propaganda Works
He was for all practical purposes the founder of modern propaganda techniques.
In his 1928 book, Propaganda, Bernays wrote, "The conscious and intelligent manipulation of the organized habits and opinions of the masses is an important element in democratic society.
In another book, In Crystallizing Public Opinion, Bernays wrote how governments and advertisers can "regiment the mind like the military regiments the body." This can be imposed, he said, because of "the natural inherent flexibility of individual human nature," and suggested the "average citizen is the world's most efficient censor.
