 It has also been noted that a key feature of Counter-Propaganda is to undermine the credibility of the original Propagandists themselves, portraying their arguments as inherently false and a product of [[Disinformation]], so that audiences will be more likely to discredit their efforts in the future<ref name="Romerstein">Herbert Romerstein (2008), "Counterpropaganda: We Can't Do Without It".

If a target audience has based their beliefs or actions upon an original Propaganda message they were exposed to over a long period of time it becomes increasingly hard to alter their viewpoint.
