** [[Les Collaborateurs|Doctor Breen's]] "Breencasts" certainly fit as well, since they praise the regime of "Our Benefactors".

* Chinese propaganda towers in ''[[Command & Conquer: Generals]]''. They ''heal'' friendly units who hear them. You can even install them on the Overlord tanks and Helix choppers to turn them into pseudo-Medics. |
