Thank you..
We are informed enough to make our own decisions about what is and isn’t propaganda, for the most part.
But that isn’t the purpose of the flame troll ID’s that have suddenly popped up. They want to extinguish the airing of any news or viewpoint that doesn’t meet their idea of reality. Many now won’t post on Ukraine news threads simply because they don’t want to deal with the flaming.
Anything that doesn’t meet EuroMaidan PR’s viewpoint is “propaganda”. (WHO is “Euromaidan PR, anyway?)
As I have pointed out many times, US reporting, if they report an event, at all, is two to three days behind RT, that has been near real-time with much of it, even if it is from the Russian viewpoint.
Notice that despite several requests for News of the events from sources they approve of go unfulfilled, they still scream “Propaganda!” without providing an alternative.
The downside of the internet explosion is that any 12 yr-old with a computer now gets to act mean and tough, anonymously.
I find it amusing that none of these people complain about MSNBC or CBS as propaganda. Everything is propaganda today - either corporate, political, financial, or personal, and some of the Liberal stuff is beyond belief - to the point a lot of people now just beleive the opposite of what they are told.
I heard a bunch of people talking at the store a while back. One said they may have found the missing Malaysian Airlines flight. The three others promptly agreed they couldn’t have, because it is in a hanger somewhere in the Pacific, under US guard. They said it like it was fact. I think they were all just assuming the media and the government are liars. I thought, wow, that is a distrust of media right there!
These people hurt their cause more than anything, because if somebody is telling me I can’t look at something, my first question is, why don’t you want me seeing that, and making up my own mind about it? It immediately makes me question the solidity of their position.
Thanks again for giving us a varied array of sources here.
