We all know that misinformation and propaganda are flooding the media, and some might even say that everything is propaganda. But most of us trust some sources more than others.

This community is especially concerned with countering propaganda, so I'm curious to hear how you personally decide whether something is propaganda or not.

Propaganda is a function, not a type of communication. Pretty much all communication serves some propaganda function, even if I'm just earnestly gushing about the cool shit I did with my comrades last week.
