Commercial vs. Propaganda

Commercial can mean a few things. First it can be concerned with or engaged in commerce, or making or intended to make a profit, a television or radio advertisement. It usually is prepared, done, or acting with sole or chief emphasis onsalability, profit, or success.  Commercial has more of advertising aspect, where they want someone to like something of theres so they show it off. 


Propaganda is information that is not impartial and used primarily to influence the people, by presenting facts selectively (thus possibly lying by omission) to encourage a particular union, or using powerful messages to produce an emotional rather than rational response to the information presented. Propaganda is a form of communication aimed towards influencing the attitude of a population toward some cause or position. Propaganda can be more political and religious and can distort facts about what they want you to believe.
