Many people probably know that propaganda can have very bad consequence when they consider it coming from someone like Goebbels. But it has bad consequences everywhere it is used. There is a saying in economics, "Bad money drives out good money." That means when corruption takes hold in a system, it takes over the system. Propaganda has taken over every system where it has taken root. Absolute power corrupts absolutely. Eventually (and it's not far off) nothing put out by any part of the establishment will be trustworthy. That's a complete train wreck for society. There is not part of lying for gain that is good.
