You are a little condescending in your remark that anyone outside the US can see it.  Well, a lot of Americans can see it.

But I'd assert that the idea of propaganda being inherently negative is a rather American notion.  It originally meant "that which should be spread." The Russians thought propaganda a good thing, like evangelism.  And we now accept that ALL communication is subjective by its very nature. In fact, the concept of propaganda as inherently evil and avoidable is a real bit of American propganda in action!  It's bad when the bad guys do it.  because they are lying.  When the good guys do it, it's not propaganda.  It's a public service. :)  hahaha

Anyway, I guess you meant "subliminal propaganda supporting the war and the Administration and unchecked capitalism."  

Yes.  This is why I believe media criticism should be taught the moment a child starts school.  Even then you are already unteaching them 5 years of ingrained behavior.
