To me, this looks more like snopes than propaganda. I mean, I'm sure it was snopes-in-service-of-the-war-effort, but it still seems different.
Or maybe we could call it negative propaganda ("don't believe that") rather than positive propaganda ("believe this").
- trimethylpurine 3y ago>more like snopes than propaganda Aren't those the same thing? An opinion piece about a set of facts is still an opinion. Snopes largely covers political topics. Combined, that's definition propaganda.

- not_really 3y agoSnopes absolutely does have an agenda.
