You can't just say "blah blah propaganda, blah blah misdirection" every time you see a news article from a war zone.
- fit2rule 9y agoRead what I said: this article may be full of misdirection and half truths.
- delazeur 9y agoNo, you clearly did not say that the article may be full of misdirection. You very emphatically stated that the article certainly contained misdirection, but did not deign to tell us mere mortals what that misdirection might be: "The answer: this is war propaganda. There are no real facts here, only half-truths and mis-direction." [Emphasis mine.] Calling everything around you propaganda may seem like an easy way to look smarter than everyone else, but it is a painfully transparent move when you can't back it up with substance. It's even worse when you try to pretend you weren't doing it.
- fit2rule 9y agoOkay, so the purpose of this article is what, exactly? To highlight the technological prowess of US forces when compared to their rivals? And you think this doesn't involve any propaganda at all?
- delazeur 9y agoThat's a fairly obvious dodge. I would assume that the primary purpose of the article is to generate advertising and subscription revenue.
