Halliburton TV advertisement..or propaganda?

Recently, I have been seeing television ads appearing that tell us how wonderful Halliburton is for our energy needs!

The ad attempts to paint Halliburton as credible, and as honest! Meanwhile........read on... http://halliburtonwatch.org/

Commercials or Propaganda; is there a difference?

They're certainly not peddling integrity here, they're peddling the perception of integrity--something which apparently is in short supply. Shareholders must be a bit nervous these days, given all the media exposure of their laundry list of war profiteering and fraudulent misdeeds. Now, if I could only remember the name of the chief architect of the war who used to be in charge of those same profiteers...oh, what is his name?

Propaganda is the stuff the DNC is spreading about Hillary Clinton trying to make the commusist worshiper to look like a moderate......the fact being she makes Ted Kennedy look like a fascist by compairison.

The part that is most humorous is most people the slam Haliburton have no idea what they really do.

The #1 answer is "it's an oil company" .......try again partner.
