Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

I somehow don't think the US is more propagandized than, say, North Korea. I want a source on this or I'm just going to assume you're pulling it out of your ass.
Yeah I'm pretty sure if I were being propagandized I would have heard about it on the news. In North Korea they believe that Kim Jong Un doesn't poop. And I know that's true because I saw it on the news.
You might enjoy this.
I'm gonna go with that it's typically pulled out of their ass for some sweet dunking points
You might enjoy this.
Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.
I'm open-source, check me out at GitHub.
Just from the sheer fact that Americans probably consume more media than North Koreans, you would expect Americans to be more propagandized than North Koreans.
There are two types of propaganda, the north Korean one which boils down to the party and leader who can do nothing wrong, and as a result there is only one truth, because the government controls it.
The western method is to flood the person with a constant barrage of information, stimulus, and dopamine, it doesn't matters the subject "the conservatives are sucking off and swallowing the loads of corporations again" "some trannny will ask you to call him she, and eat your children" in this case the truth doesn't matter either, as truth has become another commodity to be bought as capital demands, you can buy your own truth, you can even get your own prophet, for the low price of 5 each month.

I find it funny that the east (Russia, China, NK, Myanmar etc) follows the 1984 manual, the west yeah,
Can't tell if typo or extremely clever pun
... Orange man didn't get elected on his wit and charm.
Im referring to democrats that see propaganda everywhere except their own back yard
America is the most propagandized country? Really?
most is an overstatement. Yeah I think we are, it seems to take a lot of work to get past my American biases when reading world news. I could fall into "America Bad" leftist takes, and that would be just as lazy.
Probably. Since it's one with the least censorship, everyone needs to push more propaganda than the opposition...
You believe the US is one with least censorship? Did they tell you that?
Guess it depends on what we call "censorship". Is it state enacted censorship of personal opinions? Is it censorship of porn? Is it how many reporters get killed each year?
At least the US has the 1st amendment; a lot of countries don't, or circumvent free speech laws with censorship in one way or another (free speech for me, not for thee).

"In addition, pursuant to a deferred prosecution agreement (DPA) and a seizure warrant issued by the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, Empire Navigation, the operating company of the vessel carrying the contraband cargo, agreed to cooperate and transport the Iranian oil to the United States – an operation which has now concluded."
Link came from this CNN article. Would you say that ignoring the facts of a situation and using it to push an agenda would be, perhaps, propaganda?
So everyone is cool with the US taking stuff that isnt theirs?
You didn't answer my other question -- if China seized oil from an international shipping company, because China had sanctions against selling oil to the US after designated them a sponsor of terror, and a Chinese vessel was going to be used, would you be just as upset?
Because I'm fine with the US seizing goods from a US ship if they're violating US trade sanctions -- just like I'm fine with China seizing goods from a Chinese ship if they're violating Chinese trade sanctions. If the company didn't want to have their cargo seized, they shouldn't have used a US/Chinese ship to act against US/Chinese sanctions.
I'm not good with it in either situation, sanctions are ecocide.
Well you're consistent, which I appreciate and respect.
Never heard of a little place called North Korea? Read a book.
Have read a book, its called projection.
That's a weird title. Is it about film displays?
