The national 'news' players do the same thing, except they (must) bother to reword it.

That’s a just-so narrative. Scientists can’t make political overtures and require evidence to draw conclusions, yet simultaneously are able to discount the weapons program hypothesis? It’s one or the other. Anyway, one of the problems with media consolidation is that people don’t hear competing narratives, so whatever narrative a small group of people decide on is what ends up feeling true to people.
> yet simultaneously are able to discount the weapons program hypothesis? It’s one or the other. You can discount it from the lack of evidence. I can be considered again once some evidence is available.
Another tactic is just keep implying there is a lack of evidence, with vague appeal to authority independent of anything.

Yep, here's another a 90 second clip demonstrating how Sinclair is a rightwing media news org, also using the same forced talking points across the board: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_fHfgU8oMSo
That’s the exact same video as OP, buddy.

VOA is not propaganda with quotes, it is real propaganda produced by American government targeted at other (mainly eastern European) countries. It is the same thing they complain about in RT and similar state controlled news stations.
It is propaganda in the most technical sense of the word, which is why I used it. I put it in quotes because it is a very loaded word with colloquial connotations that depart from the technical sense.
So, it’s good propaganda because it’s by the good guys?

A fair and accurate statement made with the intent to influence does, in fact, meet the dictionary definition of propaganda. This is not, however, the way that the word is typically used.

#77All these stations are owned by the Sinclair Group, a right-wing broadcasting corporation that is eroding the editorial independence of local stations in order to run segments like these or the "terrorism alert desk" [1]. John Oliver had a great video on them: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GvtNyOzGogc
Also, the following quote is just utter BS, trying to draw a distinction where there is none:
> Reminder: "While it is extremely dangerous to our democracy..." the US is actually a Constitutional Republic.
