Thats fine. I think I suggested it was the same. BUT, if you are going to try to provide a forum for the intelligent exchange of information, you need to toss in ALL of the information—not just what you think is real.

Pushing back at the person who posted it is never a good plan. And is anathema to the way we are supposed to think in the US.

If its propaganda, its propaganda. We are almost a month into this thing and I think most of us can tell the difference. But often, in a piece of propaganda is a kernal of truth.

Your method is to take a steel hammer and pound the person delivering the news. That is what Stalin did. We don’t need that here.

Is someone keeps posting an obvious propaganda post from some Twitter account of some random person, that needs to be called out.
It’s an insult on our intelligence.

Agree with the first part. Not sure about the second part, about the kernel of truth "often" being in a piece of propaganda. I would substitute "sometimes".
