Richard Stengel, the top state media appointee for US President-elect Joe Biden\u2019s transition team, has enthusiastically defended the use of propaganda against Americans.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy old job at the State Department was what people used to joke as the chief propagandist,\u201d Stengel said in 2018. \u201cI\u2019m not against propaganda. Every country does it, and they have to do it to their own population. And I don\u2019t necessarily think it\u2019s that awful.\u201d<\/p>\n
