counterpoint: I believe so

I won’t, but I’m sure if you had the excess money to pursue litigation you could at least make my life quite difficult in the meantime.

Reading is a fun and beneficial pastime, try it

My understanding of propaganda doesn’t require the information to necessarily be misleading (don’t get me wrong, blatant propaganda frequently is), just presented with an intention to promote a certain group’s interests. I can see where the contention comes from, and I’m sure we could both have a lengthy discussion about it, but I don’t think it’s really the time or place, and it sounds like we aren’t too far off from understanding one another anyways. Hope you have a good day/night wherever you are!

I said propaganda isn’t necessarily at odds with facts, and for what it’s worth I saw the bias reports, but they’re talking about Left/Right bias and we’re talking about nationalistic bias. Propaganda isn’t an inherently left/right concept. There’s also no reason to suggest I think “every media fact checker is wrong”, you’re arguing against something no one here has said.

It seems like there’s no reason to doubt the US Archive’s internal records on this regard. You say surely things have changed, but there’s little in the way of compelling evidence that that’s the case, right? Propaganda doesn’t mean an absence of factual reporting, it means slanted, biased reporting, and it’s not exactly a stretch by any means to suggest that VOICE OF AMERICA might have an agenda in their reporting, right? Pretty much every country that disseminates its own media employs propaganda because it’s a proven means of control. I understand you respect the service they provide but consider the purpose of propaganda, its intended effect, and how it might be influencing your stance on this matter.
