All media is propaganda. It's only when we happen to disagree with an outlet's particular brand of propaganda that we call it out as such.

- gridlockd 7y agoThis is a defeatist attitude and it's also wrong. It's certainly possible to tell the difference between Fox News and Breitbart, or CNN and The Guardian. Of course being completely unbiased is impossible, but it's a goal work towards, not something to give up on by default.
- tialaramex 7y ago"All largely propaganda" is a Hafler Trio piece that mostly consists of a soundbite of a BBC (state media of the UK) journalist describing the state media in another country as propaganda, repeated over the longer extract from which it was sampled, so that the effect is to underscore a message that the journalist probably never realised they were communicating - isn't this ALL just propaganda anyway?
