    eh, introducing people to the idea that they are being fed propaganda is important. some people are really, really dumb and just take shit as fact cuz it's printed on paper or said on tv (and cuz they want to believe it).

      idk, i think pointing to political cartoons as a big source of propaganda is misleading and more likely to obfuscate the actually important propaganda. there are probably plenty of people who basically believe that political cartoons are the only propaganda they'll be seeing, and that if what you're reading isn't literally beating you over the head with a 2x4 engraved with whatever political opinion the author believes, that there's no "politics" in the writing and its just straight facts or whatever
