Answer:

This is more of a personal opinion type of question.

But I would say that it isn't right because it's coercing the people to think in a certain way (either subconsciously or actively)

Step-by-step explanation:

Propaganda is the dissemination of information—facts, arguments, rumours, half-truths, or lies—to influence public opinion.

Seeing that these advertising plans hold a lot of power over the american people, it shouldnt be used a manipulation tool.
