My critique on a commentary from a National Newspaper

In our present time America has relied heavily on social media. Thanks to the Obama administration because our citizens can know more about what the Government labels as information. In the Washington post How the American government is trying to control what you think John Hamilton and Kevin Kosar argue what we really get from the government (information wise). Before the Obama administration, there were a lot of uncertainties of what we really know about what is going on. For example in 2015 with the Taxpayers Transparencies act, it would force many agencies to report their ads as a Government produced ad. A majority of the time it would not be mentioned showing the control that government wants to have on everyone. I see it as a way of a form of propaganda in the sense we always do not know what the government is funding to get Americans to think the way they want. I completely agree with the authors because they provided instances in history of scandals that needed to be exposed to show what we take in as "information" or "advocacy". This commentary is intended for the public of course, but especially the citizens who are actively looking for a way to expose all government "secrets" in a sense to really crack down what goes on behind the scenes of our government.
