There is fake news, and Fake News, the propaganda term used by Mr Trump as a weapon against anybody who used to disagree with him.

I agree that honest journalism these days is a lost art, but I do not care to be associated with far right American propaganda, thanks.

Perhaps—and I respect your acknowledgment of the problem—but that is a false dichotomy.

A tremendous amount of opposition news was false and also propaganda, so perhaps you're just picking sides. But I'm of the opinion that there is one area in which both sides could unite for the benefit of the entire country: against propaganda in any form.

So basically you don’t want to appear in support of anything Trump said...if you read back what you wrote you will realize the mental gymnastics you are doing because you are not free to speak your mind because of today’s political discourse climate and cancel culture.
