    this is misleading in that it is not actually reporting news

    That’s not the type of misleading that qualifies as propaganda. It has to be misleading in a way that pushes their agenda.

    this seems like a really stupid thing for you to be trying to start a fight over.

    This is a fight you started by saying that my original comment was me not being immune to propaganda. If you think it’s stupid, then you should have chosen more correct words.

      First: You are not immune to propaganda.

      Second: I never said this was propaganda. I even went so far as to clarify that this wasn’t propaganda. This is just blatant and unabashed satirical misinformation.

      Third: My whole point is that if otherwise reasonable people like you fall for this, which could not possibly be easier to verify is from a literal fake news outlet (I timed it, it took me 5 seconds), I seriously doubt they will be more robust in the face of actual propaganda.

      Fourth: My words are fine, why are you pivoting to insulting me to try and draw this out?
