The [[California]] State Senate published a report in 1949 on Communist press networks.
{{Cquote|Through their newspapers, magazines, books, symposiums, pamphlets, handbills and analytical publications, the Communists train and educate their converts in Marxism-Leninism-Stalinism; and, at the same time, they spread their [[propaganda]] to confuse, disrupt and divide....
The Communist press and publication system in the [[United States]] is comprehensive, well-financed and efficient. Making use of the network of Communist organizations and [[Glossary_of_espionage_terms#Fronts_and_cutouts|front group]]s it is able to systematically and scientifically circulate Communist publications and propaganda throughout the length and breadth of the United States.
''The gigantic propaganda apparatus of Fascism and Nazism, at its peak never approached the efficient and extensive operation of the network of Red Fascist propaganda.'' (emphasis in original)
Equally important with the task of proselyting carried on by the Communist press, is the fundamental requirement for machinery and methods for [[Demonization|attack and smear]]. Anyone who opposes or exposes the Communist conspiracy must be destroyed.
''A continuous program of [[character assassination]] is conducted by the Communist publication-system designed to discredit anyone who attacks or exposes Communism. Public officials and law enforcement agencies are to be [[Liberal Smear Machine|constantly smeared and discredited]] in the minds of members of mass organizations.'' (emphasis in original)
The Communist propaganda system, combined with the nation-wide network of publications, information exchange, special writers, and services is so comprehensive and integrated that the average leadership of organized groups in America today is totally unequipped to cope with its flood of propaganda.
Communists are so efficiently disciplined that they are able to organize a propaganda campaign on a few hours notice. They will produce publications, press releases, plant Red propaganda in all media, and circulate resolutions, protests, denunciations and confusing reports on any subject on short notice.<ref>[http://www.usasurvival.org/docs/Davis_Frank_CA_5th_1949.pdf Fifth Report of the Senate Fact-Finding Committee On Un-American Activities], California Legislature, 1949, pp. 544-545.</ref>}}
