What is the difference between education and propaganda?
Yes, in true life the way people are educated and the way propaganda is spread it can be difficult to distinguish the difference. Let me direct you to two trains of thought: First, not all propaganda is education. You know all that information, ideas, or rumors deliberately spread widely to help or harm a person, group, movement, institution, nation, etc. that has nothing to do with acquiring or giving knowledge. Example: Cyber bullying that which involves the use of information and communication technologies to support deliberate, repeated, and hostile behavior by an individual or group, that is intended to harm others is usually a noneducational propaganda ploy to harm others. Second, not all education is propaganda; all that hands on educational training that has nothing to do with propagation of info, etc. Example: The education of hands on training, that a professional can share generally on a one to one basis that can't be taught by any book, computer or video. The day a computer can teach me how to paint a professional painting that's worth a million, It will be another one of those days I will say "I was wrong".
What is the difference between propaganda and factual news?

What is the difference between opinion and propaganda?
Opinion stated as personal view in a newspaper column or podcast is just opinion. Opinion masquerading as fact is propaganda.“(I think) President Trump is senile. Here are reasons for why I believe that…” is opinion.“As many experts say, Trump is senile” is borderline propaganda as long as you don’t point out exactly which experts you are talking about and don’t mention experts who warn that no serious diagnose can be given without a proper medical examination.“President Trump, whose senility is widely acknowledged as the reason for his erratic tweeting…” is an outright propaganda. You state an opinion as fact.
What is the difference between advertising and propaganda?
Both are a form of one-directional* one-to-many** communication that has a targeted audience, a content that resonates with them and a call-to-action.Propaganda is the term for one-directional one-to-many communication that promotes a point of view or a political cause.Advertising is the term for one-directional one-to-many communication that promotes commercial goods and services and tries to convert existing general needs into specific wants.As with everything, there are exceptions and overlap, like pre-election advertising for candidates, or product ads that push a point of view about guns, gas-guzzlers, animal rights or green energy. Although they could theoretically be considered "basically the same thing" there is a strong distinction because they are made by different experts and for different purposes, and this makes a big difference even if the results laid side-by-side seem similar at first. Like a knife made for slicing fish and a knife made for piercing jugulars, they may have a similar shape, even the same manufacturer but are very different in nature. I'm not implying there is a good and bad one, or that one is distinctly better for society than the other, only that they are indeed different from one another even if their shape and form are similar.*Only one side actively communicates**Impersonal, not directed at certain specific people but certain kind of people
What is the difference between propaganda and reasoned arguments?
Propaganda is based on half truths and untruths. Reasoned statements must be based on logically arranged statements of fact which can be contested and refuted. In English the word propaganda used to be value neutral, simply suggesting the propagation of an idea or belief. So a friend of mine, a trainee catholic priest, studied at Propaganda College in Rome. But with the Cold War, the use of the term became a perjorative directed at claims by either side in the life or death struggle for the survival of capitalism. Both sides made exaggerated claims: some quite outrageous. It is still debatable who won. I take an inverted Marxist approach, well Hegelian really, and argue that what emerged was a genuine synthesis of the two powerful ideas: the dynamic of capitalism; and the welfare system of socialism. What I hope you are grappling with is the idea of the Western scientific method, compared to the bankrupt idea of "scientism"; ie the idea that there are iron laws of history, as suggested by Marx. Most of China's leaders knew this, but Mao didn't. He was determined to make China socialist by making every Chinese socialist through constant class struggle, even constant cultural revolutions if necessary. China's wiser leaders knew that Chinese are devoted to their families and will work themselves to death for the family, but never for a cooperative or collective. Socialism is simply against human nature. Marxism is simply bad science. Historical determinism is nonsense.
How do you distinguish between truth and propaganda in modern media?
I think the question is a bit hyperbolic. Traditional newsgathering organizations of international stature like the BBC, The New York Times, the Economist, Reuters and the Associated Press are no more "controlled by either big media corporations or government" than they were 25 or 50 years ago.The biggest threat to these newsgathering operations is their declining finances -- led generally by the huge declines in advertising revenue -- not increasing government or "big media corporation" control. The need to close foreign bureaus has cut the comprehensiveness of these outfits' coverage, but if you study the media it's hard to conclude that their reliability is much different than it was, again, 25 or 50 years ago. It wasn't always so great then either.Frankly, the best tool for distinguish fact from fiction in current events is repose. You would do better to read a newspaper story the next day in The New York Times than a wire story that was written in 10 minutes and slapped up on a thousand Web sites. But you will usually do much better to read a lengthy account in the New Yorker weeks later, or even months or years later, than any account written in the thicket of events.Going back to the archives and reading day-after coverage of major events -- something like the Challenger disaster, or the Iran Air 655 tragedy, or the months leading up to the Iraq war -- can be very instructive. It usually takes months, at least, for the real story to emerge.You cannot reliably expect to learn what matters in real time. You often need to be patient for the truth to out.
What is the difference between propaganda and news in wartime?
The same as in peace time … News should be factual Propaganda is not factual but a version of events that will benefit one side or the other. Some times it is used just to bolster the emotions of the affected population by their own media. Sometimes it is directed at the population of the other side to demoralize or distract.
What is the major difference between Propaganda and Lie?
Propaganda is to advocate the views and interests of those advocating them. It may be or may not be a lie. It's a point of view. In most cases, the people advocating truly believe in it. On the other hand, lie is factual, regardless the point of view. Also, lie is intentional. People who lie know that in their own hearts, but not telling. For other people, many times, it is hard to know if it is a lie immediately. But history can tell.
