“western journalists are responsible for poisoning the minds of entire populations.” While I generally agree with you it’s awfully hexbear of you to single out “western” instead of generally all.
I’m sure the “journalists” in Russia are doing just as much to poison the minds of their citizens.
Edit: Didn’t even realize this is in the Hexbear community lol, I shouldn’t of spoken out of turn I’m sorry. Please don’t shun me
It’s really convenient to selectively discard the idea of American Exceptionalism when it comes time to talk about the most money ever, by any civilization in history, spent on propagandizing their own people
The thing you don’t incorporate into your analysis is the fact that there’s one giant capitalism that exists in the world and it has centered itself in the American state. You never actually compare apple to apple, let alone acknowledge oranges.
I guess you can say that while all journalists are propagandists, they are much more succesful propagandists in the west. Probably because people are far less sceptical of the news here. There’s that old joke about a KGB agent and a CIA agent having a chat in a bar.
“I have to admit, I’m always so impressed by Soviet propaganda. You really know how to get people worked up,” the CIA agent says.
“Thank you,” the KGB says. “We do our best but truly, it’s nothing compared to American propaganda. Your people believe everything your state media tells them.”
The CIA agent drops his drink in shock and disgust. “Thank you friend, but you must be confused… There’s no propaganda in America.”

emphasis mine. no investigation, no right to speak. have some more ppb
Yeah, half of Russian journalists are doing propaganda for Putin, the other half for USA and all of the for capitalism.
You won’t be shunned. You must accept your ppb though
I’m not sure what ppb is but I will take the pic of possibly a pig shitting on its own balls as a sign of good luck, thank you
Pig poop balls = ppb
