@boud @samboy um. no. that would be misleading. advertising is one thing. public relations is another. propaganda is another. sometimes they overlap. sometimes one is used to pretend to be another.
claiming all advertising is propaganda is ridiculous and misleading.

@mmasnick You're welcome to correct any errors in [1], based on [[WP:RS]]. You've also posed a particularly interesting challenge: What criteria must a paid advertisement by client X posted on an online social network satisfy in order to *not* bias the reader/viewer to be more likely to purchase X's product (versus a thorough, neutral, objective assessment comparing the rival products)? In other words: what criteria define an advertisement that is *not* propaganda [1]? @samboy
