The Smith-Mundt Act of 1948, Public Law 80-402, 62 Stat. 6, limited/prohibited the government from propagandizing its own citizens through controlling the narrative

This law was repealed/modified with the Smith-Mundt Modernization Act of 2012, 112TH Congress 2D Session H. R. 5736, This changed the Smith-Mundt Act by taking away the the government’s limit and prohibition of propagandizing its own citizens by controlling the narrative

The bill was passed by Congress, rolled into the NDAA, and signed into law by Obama in 2013

This made it legal for the government to disseminate propaganda at home and abroad

"National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) includes an amendment that would legalize the use of propaganda on the American public, reports Michael Hastings"

Michael Hastings was a real journalist.
Which is why he was assassinated in 2013

Now I'm no historian, and things were rough before then, but it lines up for me as far as the level of propaganda being hit with. And the best part is Obama and the media were and still are butt buddies.
