The net is an open medium where in anybody and everybody can host a site. The cost of hosting a site has become lower with the time and popularity of the net growing. Today very many sites propagate their own point of view and are able to attract a sizable audience towards their style of thinking.
Propaganda means talking in superlatives or in adjectives or giving out a hyped message about myself and denouncing or talking negatives about my competition. Propaganda is followed by all religions and political parties. Example- The India Shining campaign by right wing Bhartiya Janta Party was denounced and demolished by the centralist party Congress party. The Congress party in India is a first political party to use internet as a propaganda medium in India. Propaganda has been used by political leaders all over. Even as far as religion goes the propaganda put out overtly or subtly is that only my one religion can save the world to the path adopted by it. There are subtle suggestions that deem only the God adore by a religion as being the only God that will guarantee Heaven or Swarg. Thus it depends on one in what way one takes it.
Propaganda is used to attract people. For example If one likes Cricket one will host a site to attract audiences towards it.
