“Is it me, or is the Russia camp switching to denying any bad news for Russia by calling it “propaganda”?”
Truth: proclaiming “propaganda” with subsequent false exaggerated posturing, accusations and name-calling directed toward any opposition becomes quite tedious.

Axiom: The antidote to the process of propaganda is the process of finding factual truth.
Factual truth is follows the evidence wherever it might lead. Anything counter-factual that obscures or distorts the truth is ‘anathema.’
The anti-support freedom for Ukraine group’ cannot even contemplate ponder, consider, or study any information not supportive of their mind-set. Their stance is total repudiation of what is factually true presented by article, video or both. There is zero tolerance for any alternate opinion undesirable of support of the invasion of Putin.
All should avoid the EVASION of our intellectual responsibility in support of our pursuit of knowledge.
This is vital to determine the difference between what “we want to believe to be true” and “what is true.”
I maintain each of us has freedom of thought and of expression. I am not here to dictate my point of view.
However, it is important all respect that we share mutual freedom of thought and of expression regardless of a differing viewpoint.
Anything posted that doesn’t claim the utter failure and resounding success of muskovites is considered “propoganda “ by the usuals. Rarely ever with any proof or content
