> I lie, you lie, what's the difference?

Definitely not what I'm trying to say.

> No, there is truth, it's something to strive for, and it makes all the difference.

Absolutely. This requires that one does not take any propaganda position to be wholeistically true including those of your home country.

The search for truth comes not from authority or consensus, but from experiential reality. No authority and no consensus has a monopoly on experiential reality including the American domestic and international propaganda programmes and the consensus that they create or the Russian domestic and international propaganda programmes and the consensus that they create.

Propaganda is influence.

Facts are facts.
