I've seen this same view on politics as well. Yet just because Party A is trying out propaganda does not mean they have 'won control of the debate' and everyone else who was addressing the same topics is now quiet and sheepish.

In fact, you could say the idea that 'we talked about it, therefore our reponse reigns supreme' is part of the propaganda message---that because it is mentioned by a mainstream source, it has become mainstream belief by default.
