The typical characteristics of propaganda include:

  1. Charged language - Propaganda often uses emotionally charged words to provoke strong feelings and influence opinions.

  2. Mass distribution - Propaganda is typically disseminated widely, using various media channels to reach a large audience.

  3. Preconceived ideas - Propaganda often leverages existing beliefs or biases, presenting information in a way that aligns with those preconceived notions to reinforce them.

While humor or sarcasm and focus on trends can sometimes be present in propaganda, they are not as defining as the three options listed above.
