We need to know the war you ask about to answer.
The Committee on Public Information during WWI is considered propaganda because it was a government agency created to shape public opinion in support of the war effort. It disseminated information that presented the war in a positive light, encouraged patriotism, and portrayed the enemy in a negative way to rally support for the war. Its goal was to influence public perception and garner public support for the war.
Propaganda was the measure that war time government took to control national Economics and public opinion. Propaganda is spreading news that you want the people to hear, it doesn't have to be exactly truthful.
a. The government and trade industries were selling weapons to all belligerents during the war. The president was telling the people to not choose sides and to stay neutral during the war. Also the use of propaganda!
The Government had the full backing of the vast majority of the informed public and the Army had more volunteers than they needed. More important perhaps is that troops had the blessing of public opinion.
The purpose of the CPI was to influence American public opinion toward supporting U.S. intervention in World War I via a prolonged Propaganda campaign.
