Should Mr Biden also be fact checking all of his propaganda ads, too?
Quoted post unavailable.
The ads being put out in the daily newspapers and radio on his behalf are one good example. He has a near monopoly on what words and concepts are broadcast. Those things should probably be just as fact checked as any other thing.

CAn you provide a link? You said on his behalf, do you mean the US government is paying for adverstising propaganda?

Right. Ads should be limited to selling actual products or services.
Is selling products or services not political propaganda in its own way?
“Visit Thailand” is both selling services and propaganda. “Russian war is Ok” is a different kind of propaganda. It’s easy to see the difference between the two and online ad platforms should be able to make a reasonable distinction in most cases.

I don’t know about the ads, but here are their state media reports: They peddle Russia’s claim that US has bioweapons in Ukraine: https://www.newsweek.com/china-peddles-russias-claim-that-us... And here’s CGTN’s article on “biolabs” in Ukraine, citing Russia media outlets and officials: https://www.globaltimes.cn/page/202203/1254330.shtml Edit: As pointed out by a commenter, the above article is from GlobalTimes, not…
https://twitter.com/raczylo/status/1501324063926534148 Edit: "The US has an interest in biolabs in Ukraine" - I feel like this is a pretty useless nit to pick. (Sorry for the twitter source. It's a video of Marco Rubio, a US senator, talking to Victoria Nuland) The US is basically warning that Russia plans to release stuff from these labs and blame the Ukrainians for it. Kindof the same thing they were supposedly doi…
biolabs != bioweapons and that source does not say they are US owned or operated.

>And here’s CGTN’s article That's GlobalTimes. I know they are both state media, but we are talking CGTN here. > citing Russia media outlets and officials I bet I can find them quoting US or Ukrainian media outlets and officials too. Should media not report what countries fighting a war claim? It's not like Western media consistently gets it right (e.g. deaths on snake island) by reporting only the pro-Ukrainian side…
Indeed I mixed up CGTN and GlobalTimes.
But, hey, the CGTN post is very easy to find, given the Newsweek article: https://letmegooglethat.com/?q=CGTN+russia+Igor+Konashenkov
