Iraq War
Graffiti slogans were used on walls and houses praising the virtues of many group leaders while condemning the Iraqi government.
CDs & DVDs
Insurgents also produced CDs and DVDs and distributed them in communities that Iraq and the US Government were trying to influence. The insurgents designed advertisements that cost a fraction of what the US was spending on their ads aimed at the same people in Iraq with much more success.

Television Station
In addition, a domestic Arabic language television station was established with the aim of informing the Iraqi public of alleged coalition propaganda efforts in the country.
US Iraq

The US implemented black propaganda by creating false radio personalities that would disseminate pro-American information but supposedly run by the supporters of Saddam Hussein. One radio station used was Radio Tikrit.

Newspaper Articles
The United States paid Iraqis to publish articles written by US troops in their newspapers under the idea that they are unbiased and real accounts.
​

US US
Videoclips
Video and picture coverage in the news has shown images of torture and other PR disasters being done under the Iraqi Government.

The Bush claque of neocon hawks viewed the Iraq war as a product and, just like a new pair of Nikes, it required a roll-out campaign to soften up the consumers.
North Korean War
Cartoons
Americans are depicted particularly negatively. They are presented as an inherently evil race, with whom hostility is the only possible relationship. The Korean War is used as a source for atrocities, less for the bombing raids than on charges of a massacre.
