    As expected, someone downvoted this.

    Many people fail to realise that, stating facts does not mean it’s not propaganda.

    Something can be facts and propaganda at the same time.

    One typical example is that, China tops high speed rails in the world. If this is reported by the state-funded media like Global Times, it’s both a fact and propaganda at the same time.

    I believe some people will never do critical thinking anyway…

      You are correct in the second post (except posting NATOpedia about anything Russian), but it means your first post is either completely useless or an agenda vagueposting

      Also how is that Russian propaganda when it’s posted by multiple very antirussian media too? Quantum state of being Russian and antirussian at the same time?

        1. The first post was not made by me.
        2. Your question exactly indicates you’re misunderstanding what’s “propaganda”. I can point at this saying it’s propaganda, then blame Ukraine and praise Russia. The word “propaganda” states an objective fact that its reporting may be biased due to factors like state-funding, but it has nothing to do with someone is pro or against it. See the point here?

            Because no one asks???

            I simply point out OP is indeed propaganda, and this has nothing to do with the links below.

            Anyway, I don’t want to answer any other questions, as almost everyone here has already taken a stance that I’m pro western. I’M NOT. I hate the modern capitalism, and I hate those American technofascists the most. However, this has nothing to do with the topic here, and I’m tired of questions that the sole purpose is to force me to show my stance.

      By that logic, what you’re doing, isn’t that a type of soft propaganda as well?

      You pointed out a fact about propaganda that’s true, but it doesn’t change the underlying truth that Zelensky threatened Belarus.

      The way you present your claim, any one who does not think critically will call the news headline false and spread that misinformation further.

      How can one be sure that you’re not spreading your own propaganda?

      Do you think only state-owned media engage in propaganda?

      And the poster obviously meant in in the common, negative and pejorative sense otherwise they might as well post the exact same comment under literally any news article.
