      What’s your definition of propaganda? I’d like to invite you to spend some time in this thread thinking through why this article is, in your mind, so clearly propaganda that it’s not worth engaging with.

      Of course, I can’t (and wouldn’t want to) force you to spend any time or mental effort thinking about this. But if you’d like someone to (kindly and calmly) ask you questions that could help you come to a deeper understanding of your thoughts about propaganda.

      Because this piece seems, to me, interesting and worth reading and thinking about. I also don’t think that the two categories “news” and “propaganda” are totally disjoint, instead I think there’s a huge overlap, with most “news” being delivered as “propaganda”.

      The article links to sources you’re probably more familiar with. Are Politico or The Sun propaganda too? How about Zelensky’s own account? The one where he posted a picture of himself hanging out with neo Nazis?

        I’ve never seen someone consider the sun to be a reliable usable source of news before.
