I want you to take a look at three websites.
When you browse them, ask yourself this question: "Does this organization talk like they run the government?".
The Communist Party of China
The Republican Party (United States)
The Department of Transportation (United States)
All of these websites are engaged in public relations. They are promoting a positive vision of the organizations activities. The CPC is promoting actual policy initiatives. So is the DOT. The GOP is selling t-shirts, bashing Hillary, and complaining about extremely general concepts like "taxes" and "freedom".
You'll notice something else. The DOT has a ".gov" URL, which is short for "government". The Republican party has a ".com" URL, which was short for "commercial", but is now just a general top-level domain name for non-governmental websites..
