Advertising being manipulation sounds like something a paranoid conspiracy theory would say. However, saying advertising is just dealing out information is wrong as well. A good advertisement will do both things: tickle the audience's senses and provide them information on the product. Like all things, balance is the key.
Because of this, I can't argue that it's all information or all manipulation, because that simply wouldn't be true; I'm not sure how I'm going to argue out an entire essay. I'll just post a picture of a puppy. Maybe he'll manipulate you into forgetting all about this post.
