| Gosh,
I am making a statement about actionlyme.org and the balance of it's
presentation of the facts. Pros and cons are available for pretty much any
subject under the sun. It would just be nice to see both sides, rather than
the carefully chosen "anti" position. When that happens, it is called
propaganda.
I know the evils of "BigPharma" (they use propaganda too) but whether the
medications they sell are beneficial is a totally different subject than how
they try to make profits, fairly or unfairly. The actionlyme.org site seems
to want to connect the two subjects, using the business practice to judge
the effectiveness of the medications. That's propaganda. That is my point.

Propaganda is a specific type of message presentation directly aimed at
influencing the opinions of people, rather than impartially providing
information.
