Fake news is propaganda, full stop The Onion might disagree with that. The line between one man's satire and another man's propaganda is a pretty thin one.

Fake news is propaganda, full stop
The Onion might disagree with that. The line between one man's satire and another man's propaganda is a pretty thin one.
- ska 10y agoNot so thin at all. I think there is a pretty clean delineation between satirical sites like the onion (i.e. Social commentary) and the sort of "fake news" we are talking about here. These fake news posts are presented as factual, with the purpose of supporting a political or social goal - in other words propaganda.
