Where I live, Google rented out a huge Billboard to advertise Chrome, and it cites Chrome as "the world's most trusted browser"

I LOL every time I see it. Imagine the lengths they have to go to, to try to make people trust a product they have.




Trusted is known to not be the same as trustworthy.


The Bible is a widely trusted source on topics such as the origin of the world, and life.


Repeat the lie often enough and loud enough, it becomes accepted as truth. A billboard is pretty loud in this context.


Like Chomsky said: (corporate) propaganda is incredibly widespread but about an ankle deep.
