Propaganda often presents [[facts]] selectively (thus possibly lying by omission) to [[encourage]] a particular [[synthesis]], or uses loaded messages to produce an [[emotional]] rather than [[rational]] [[response]] to the [[information]] presented. The [[desired]] result is a [[change]] of the [[attitude]] toward the subject in the target [[audience]] to further a [[political]] [[agenda]].
