All propaganda should get pushback. Maybe western propaganda should get more but typically pushback is at least allowed.
ML doesn’t even allow you to fact-check their propaganda. That makes it so much worse, even if it had an equal level of factual information as western propaganda (it doesn’t).
Fair points on ml not allowing criticism, but your last point about how Western propaganda is more truthful sounds sort of like somebody who’s been drinking the propaganda, you don’t really have evidence to support that claim I think.
Meh I don’t really want to get into that debate since we’re talking about a wide range of materials that may be more or less truthful depending on the exact source and topic.
Regardless, propaganda is typically extremely misleading.
