Agree, Curtis uses propaganda techniques, but who doesn't?  When Spike Lee links sad music to scenes of Katrina damage, he's trying to influence us on an emotional level.  It's not a "just the facts" approach, and in that sense, it's propaganda…but I don't think it's an illegitimate way of telling a story.  It's a…
