Let’s not pretend that Russia is the only one putting out propaganda. Our own media puts out propaganda all day long and they don’t even try to conceal that anymore.
And there are at least two posters here on FR who appear to have full-time jobs proliferating Ukraine propaganda. They post daily threads and reply to themselves or a designated acolyte over and over to keep the spam in the newsfeed.
Sure, of course, I understand that, everybody wants to spin the truth to support their own causes -- emphasize the positive, ignore the negative, etc.
But there is a qualitative difference in Russian propaganda that anyone not married to it can immediately spot, and which we see all too much of on Ukraine related Free Republic threads.
By comparison to Moscow, Joseph Goebbels himself was the height of sophisticated information management.
Allegra: "And there are at least two posters here on FR who appear to have full-time jobs proliferating Ukraine propaganda.

Maybe, but how many Russian propagandists are there here?
I'd say they (you?) outnumber pro-Ukrainian posters by several to one.
The difference, in my experience, is that pro-Russians almost always post outrageous lies, while pro-Ukrainians try their best to stick to the truth.
That should tell us something.
