  2. It is very relevant especially in post soviet countries, as well as poorer 3rd world countries due to lack of press freedom
  3. Yes, there are lot of political events and dictatorships in the world where propaganda is widely used.
  4. Yes, there is so many examples: COVID-19, vaccines, flat earth, events in Belarus, situation in Syria, Ukraine and etc. There is growing number of political movements that are based on "alternative point of view" or in other word propaganda. I mentioned more global cases, not local. Although there is enough in Lithuania related to Russia or elections.

  9. It is, with everything that is happening in the world, different parties are trying to get their "perfect image" out into the public, shape the publics opinion. In Lithuania is very relevant these days - the election
  10. Yes, Donald Trump's speeches about the current pandemic in the US are mostly half true or lies and are usually based on his opinion and not scientific statistics.
