U.S. law forbids the military from carrying out psychological operations or planting propaganda through American media outlets.

What is this law, anons? This may be where Q Team has the FAKE NEWS in their cross hairs!!!!

Stumbled on it in this link while researching propaganda feedback loop:

Here's the whole piece that caught my interest…

One of the military officials said that, as part of a psychological operations campaign that has intensified over the last year, the task force also had purchased an Iraqi newspaper and taken control of a radio station, and was using them to channel pro-American messages to the Iraqi public. Neither is identified as a military mouthpiece.

The official would not disclose which newspaper and radio station are under U.S. control, saying that naming them would put their employees at risk of insurgent attacks.

U.S. law forbids the military from carrying out psychological operations or planting propaganda through American media outlets. Yet several officials said that given the globalization of media driven by the Internet and the 24-hour news cycle, the Pentagon's efforts were carried out with the knowledge that coverage in the foreign press inevitably "bleeds" into the Western media and influences coverage in U.S. news outlets.

I think I've seen something about propaganda not being allowed in 2 CFR 200 which regulates all Federal Programs. Searching now.

In layman's terms:

If Federal Dollars have gone to THE FAKE NEWS MEDIA and FAKE NEWS MEDIA is found to have influenced our elections or promoted riots then it violated 2 CFR 200.45

>>1232372

>So basically, CNN, MSNBC, et all are guilty of violating 2 CFR 200.45.

The BIG IF….if they (FAKE NEWS MEDIA OUTLETS) were in receipt of Federal Dollars. This is where follow the money comes in.

>But did the Smith-Mundt Modernization Act of 2012 allow exceptions to 2 CFR 200.45?

Good question, anon but NO based on the Smith-Mundt Modernization Act of 2012 says this,

"No funds…shall be used to influence public opinion in the United States."
