Narrative control, selective memory, and media emphasis. Propaganda is not just censorship. In one place, it's government control over headlines; in another, it's corporate media and algorithmic reinforcement of what sells or aligns with national interest. Just because a society is 'open' doesn't mean its public is fully informed."
