GOP-TV, the television arm of the Republican Party, debuted in 1995 with the news magazine Rising Tide, a pseudo-news program (less "infotainment" than "infoganda") spreading the conservative gospel and raising money on some two thousand cable systems.
"They created a whole new category of fake news — infoganda," Rob Corddry said. "We'll never be able to keep up!" But Mr. Corddry's joke is not really a joke. The more real journalism declines, the easier it is for such government infoganda to fill the vacuum.
2007 — "Moose CO2 'infoganda' smells bad", Daily Reflector, 26 October 2007:
Who was responsible for the inclusion of Gary Harmon's little "infoganda" opinion hit piece about moose flatulence in your Living Green section of the Oct. 20 paper? Granted it was labeled as commentary, but why was it not, as such, placed in the editorial section, rather than allowed to hide behind the legitimacy of this regular feature?

Infoganda was first applied during the 1990-1991 Persian Gulf conflict (under Bush Sr.) to describe the reports and footage the military supplied to journalists covering that invasion.
It introduces a new word: infoganda. This being the masquerading of propaganda to go to war as information; Donald Rumsfeld called it "perception management."
When you watch the military flyovers here each July 3, that is really and sadly part of that infoganda campaign, which has gotten costly and almost sacrilegious if you oppose it.
