The Smith-Mundt Modernization Act of 2012, which was contained within the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2013, allowed for materials produced by the State Department and the Broadcasting Board of Governors to be available within the United States.
The result: an unleashing of thousands of hours per week of government-funded radio and TV programs for domestic U.S. consumption and a green light for U.S. domestic propaganda efforts.
The repeal of the #SmithMundtAct, which was introduced in the House in 2012 (and passed) as "HR. 5736 Smith-Mundt Modernization Act" effectively made domestic #propaganda legal.
