Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Creel Committee on Public Information, established by President Woodrow Wilson during World War I, was indeed a propaganda organization. Its primary goal was to promote the U.S. government's perspective on the war effort and to rally public support. This involved disseminating the government's official version of events and discrediting opposition or dissenting views, rather than providing an unbiased or comprehensive view of the war.
