      Only one side of anything being propagandised is effectively a non-existent concept. Propaganda is simply promotion of an opposing idea. People tend to equate the term with outright lies, but propaganda is far more often truth that’s specifically chosen to influence opinions in a certain direction.

        Ok, I understand that. Surely you can agree that one side has a significant propaganda advantage? There’s a massive difference between splashing news across every Western Source, and dropping a propaganda video on telegram.
