### Smith-Mundt Act Repeal, Domestic Propaganda Legalization

The 2013 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) included an amendment that effectively repealed the Smith-Mundt Act, which previously prohibited the U.S. government from using propaganda on its own citizens. This legislative change has allowed government officials from the White House, CIA, and State Department to appear frequently on news channels as commentators. Critics argue that mainstream media outlets like NewsHour and MSNBC now primarily feature government stooges rather than independent experts.

The 2013 modernization of the Smith-Mundt Act allows the Broadcast Board of Governors (BBG) to distribute its content domestically upon request. While the BBG claims it does not target U.S. audiences, local stations can now subscribe to free, high-quality news packages produced by the agency. This change has raised concerns about the potential for government-funded propaganda within the United States.
