    I just love when someone doesn't understand that APnews regularly spreads propaganda. Amazing to me that westies think that propaganda is only something that happens in outside the west. 😂

      I just love it when someone posts propaganda and then goes into their own thread attempting to discredit everyone else as propaganda.

          So 30 year old books that talk about press during wartime being propagandist in some cases, with bias in others and heavily politiced in most, sure.

          Do you have a source for stating AP spreads propagand routinely nowadays?

            These 30 year old books describe the mechanics of western media, which last I checked, haven't substantially changed today. If anything, propaganda has ramped up as a result of a proxy war with Russia.

            another comment in this very thread has the sources regarding AP specifically https://lemmy.ml/post/18538110/12620401

            during wartime

            please point to the years where the U.S. has not been at war.
