Ppl usually get promoted by loyality and skill. Steven has loyality, but lacks skill. His hit piece and the reactions amplify that he is the right person to his superiours. However, if you overdo, if you cant be subtile and cover your tracks, you are not skilled enough to be considered for promotion. Propaganda is only effective, if the audience doesnt recognize it. Obivous propaganda has the opposite effect and moves ppl away from where you want them to be.

Funny. I would consider most everything the American government has done since 9/11 to be obvious propaganda. Doesn't seem to make a difference.
