My mom came over to babysit. We went on a walk and she mentioned the baby decapitations and I said it is propaganda. And then she said they showed it on tv...! And that there is a clear enemy, Hamas. I said no, they're freedom fighters, and you're being propagandized. She decided to go home. (Wish I were making this up)
Could I have played it better? Yes. Is the united states the most propagandized country in the world? Yes.
Is it not a stretch to say I insulted her? Like, saying someone is being propagandized doesn't seem like an outright insult. They are on the receiving end of a bunch of biased media.

They showed it on TV, huh.
So she's just imagining propaganda now?
They showed something that was hard to watch, that's for sure. My poor mom, watching war snuff films on cable tv...
Instead of insults, ask what they showed on TV, because I doubt it was 40 baby heads.

This isn't a matter of who was wronged, it's a matter of getting them to listen.
