Propaganda.

97. I am not on board with this policy.

That being said, there is a flaw in your thought process with respect to this:

"When this news came out, this board was filled with outrage and horror. Hours later, the corporate propaganda brigade has now littered GD with their predictable rationalizations, justifications, and carefully worded advertisements to justify even this. Even this."

It can be said just as easily that the initial reaction was nothing but a knee jerk reaction. A couple of hours is not a long time to post on a fresh topic. Some of those people may not have even logged on for a couple of hours, or maybe even 24 hours, after the initial memo came out.

I have seen a number of posters state their acceptance of this policy in an eloquent and well thought out manner. I don't agree with them, but their thought process was their and was clear. Opinions are not always propaganda when they don't agree with you.
