Says they are spreading "Pro-US" propaganda to other nations, but would not do it inside the borders. Something about propaganda being illegal inside the US?
See THIS site:

"Democrats aren't the only ones angered by the Justice Department's memo to federal agencies on March 11 telling them to ignore a key finding by the Government Accountability Office. The GAO has declared that video news releases -- or prepackaged TV segments -- that fail to reveal they were produced by the government constitute illegal propaganda."

I think there ARE types of propaganda that is illegal. Or, at least, there is protocol there. That's what I want clarification on.

Propoganda is what drives the US political system, but there is a ban on using government funds for promoting partisan political propoganda not affiliated with a political campaign. This must be proven and heard through Congress before any penalty is dealt, however.
