Yes, 100%. I think the documents he released were all authentic, but that’s a great distance from either being “the truth” or being in service of “the truth”. The majority of propaganda is factual while attempting to subvert "the truth".
- pessimizer 5y agoPropaganda isn't trying to subvert the truth, whether quoted or unquoted. Propaganda is trying to promote a particular position. Nobody has as a goal to subvert the truth, that's just a caricature of one's enemies. What we do is public relations, what they do is propaganda. It's just a rationalization to disregard the standards that one would normally use to judge information i.e. its accuracy.
