media type="custom" key="3851299" This is not COLD WAR propaganda! This is American propaganda. The type of propaganda used is called simplification. It is used to reduce complex situations to a clear-cut choice. It is also used in this instance to sway uneducated audiences. They make the devil represent the communists, symbolizing that communism is evil and everyone that believes in communism is evil, especially the soviets. This is an example of USSR propaganda. The type of propaganda used here is called pinpointing the enemy. This type of propaganda is used to simplify a complex situation by viewing the situation in terms of clear-cut right and wrong. In this particular propaganda, they made Uncle Sam represent America being the absolute wrong in the picture. This is an example of modern day propaganda. In this example of propaganda they used name calling. Name calling is used to arouse prejudice among the public by labeling the target as something the public doesn't like. With this example they are using the word terrorist to describe anyone who disagrees or goes against America. This is propaganda against America because it is making America seem like they are "all knowing" and think they are the only ones who are right.
