> because they don't like what they say, and because they show a different side to western propaganda... News stories are often engineered to achieve a specific desired outcome. What do you call something that is engineered to cause destruction or chaos? I would call it a weapon. Just because it isn't incendiary, doesn't mean it is any less able to cause destruction. You wouldn't let someone who has engineered an explosive bring it through your borders. I don't understand why you would let someone who engineered a story for the purpose of creating chaos transmit on your equipment. The west has sanctity for all communication due to the potential of misidentifying good faith communication as bad faith. Good faith communication should enjoy a level of sanctity, but to say bad faith communication should be treated with the same sanctity as good faith communication in all situations seems deeply optimistic at best. At some point the pragmatic call has to be made that the risk of labeling a good faith communication as bad faith is low enough that action must be taken.
