Propaganda often invokes images of communism, wars, drugs, and other hot topics of the era, though with the aid of critical thinking skills one can distinguish this blatant sway of influence to one attitudes towards certain ideas. Though free speech can include propaganda, it is all in the way it is presented and the biased from which the source is from.
Free Speech as garuanteed in our constitution can and often does have some form of biased opinion. There have been laws that have been implemented as to curb hate crimes, which many use the pathway of free speech peddle there bias. Examples of recent propoganda include the war in Iraq and American domination. Free speech in the political realm often include recent bills up for vote, genuine appreciation for certain acts or laws set into place through the peddling of the bill via free speech.
Most notably of free speech is the Juneau school board vs. Joseph Frederick, 'Bong hits for Jesus' which resided in a loss, it was stated that the state could sensor illegal drug use in schools.
It is all how it is interpreted, one might consider the source to distinguish whether it is propoganda or free speech. Laws often dictate, or goes to judicial review when certain topics come up whether or not something is protected by free speech.
Propoganda is often touted as an extremely biased sway to an idea but as stated previously it is often presented in a form that envokes emotion through the use of visual aid, often undermining one's concious thoughts.
