An amendment that would legalize the use of propaganda on American audiences is being inserted into the latest defense authorization bill....

The amendment would “strike the current ban on domestic dissemination” of propaganda material produced by the State Department and the Pentagon, according to the summary of the law at the House Rules Committee's official website.

The bi-partisan amendment is sponsored by Rep. Mac Thornberry from Texas and Rep. ADAM SMITH from Washington State.
