Persuasion, Politics, and Propaganda

As a result, many seem to turn to the Internet as a source for the news. The Internet/World Wide Web introduces many ways to engage voters and facilitate participation in politics (Bucy, 2005). However, consumers remain vulnerable to media persuasion, politics, and propaganda.
