Ministry of Truth for Hire

From Slate:

"If your definition of propaganda is framing communications to do something that's going to save lives, that's fine," says Mark Broughton, SCL's public affairs director. "That's not a word I would use for that."

Then again, it's hard to know exactly what else to call it. (Company literature describes SCL's niche specialties as "psychological warfare," "public diplomacy," and "influence operations.")

Just in case you wanted to pull of an 'influence operation', here's their website.

I'd love this if it weren't so horrible.
