they don't need to believe it is the only place to get accurate information to post accurate information from there

How do you personally determine when a right wing propaganda outlet is telling you the truth?

[–] CottonSeed@slrpnk.net 2 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I assume the facts are right in most media. it's the framing you gotta watch out for.

Why would you assume the facts reported by the media wing of the government funding one of the sides being reported on is accurate?

Don't you agree that these leftists posting should wait until independent media verifies Qatar's claims before it gets posted?

fact checking is too easy and ubiquitous to think you can just lie about the facts, so innuendo and framing are the really pernicious aspects of modern propaganda thats framed as news. so, no, I don't think it's necessary to wait.
