    It’s not fake but also not relevant. Good news provides context in addition to simple event facts. The best propaganda is based in truth. The intent here is to promote the idea that the West is rotten and corrupt through and through.

    They only get these facts because of a transparent society so antiwestern propagandists have always had an easier time supporting that narrative.

    Our takeaway should be that they system is working and ensuring that political interest groups are kept in check and transparent within society. Less liberal societies would simply jail them and hide the evidence.

        Propaganda and strategic narratives is literally my profession. Take everything I say with a grain of salt. Just because I believe it does not mean I’m not being strategic. Educate yourselves. Learn how journalism works. Learn its limitations. Experience the world and try not to take it too seriously.
