Propaganda during the Cold War was at its peak in the 1950s and 1960s in the early years of the Cold war. The United States would make propaganda criticizing and making fun of the enemy the Soviet Union. The propaganda was on movies, television, music, literature and art. The United States officials did not call it propaganda they were just telling the accurate information about the world to the people who had different views on things. The television promoted conservative family values and how great it is to live in America. One of the TV shows at the time was called The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet.
