Infoganda

Infoganda is a term describing dramatic or literary work that contains both elements of an infomercial and propaganda.

Typically this term is used to refer to dramatic or literary works created by highly biased government or religious entities.

These commercials can often include fake news anchors that pretend to be neutral observers even though they are all participants in a ruse to sell something.

It was explained to a large audience by Rob Corddry on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart on March 17, 2004.

The Daily Show use of the word infoganda was in reference to a U.S. government video released in early March 2004 to many local television stations.
