“The Chabad-Lubavitch propaganda apparatus is sizable and busy, and has been so for quite a while….”
With all due respect, the media efforts coming out of 770 are generally focused on the work of chabad shalichim around the world and are not a bunch of guys in black hats running up and down Eastern Parkway waving yellow flags or live-streaming 24×7 coverage from the Ohel. Likewise, the Agudah, Lakewood/BMG or KJ Satmar media efforts are all reasonably effective at sharing their “propaganda” at both a local and national level.
