Really? Guy makes a sweeping claim, without a single example, and ends by saying he is not an expert on the question? Don't doubt that there is a lot of propaganda at work in a war, but this one-sided claim is not credible.

As I said, I don't doubt that there is war propaganda. What you just cited -- a non-existent warrior hero -- is the least consequential. His inference that public opinion is pro-Ukrainian because it is gullible for propaganda rather than reacting to events is what I object to...

There is a great deal of Russian war propaganda, with a much more vast propaganda machine. But when you accuse a Jewish president, with family who died in Shoah, of being a neo-Nazi, only the most clueless buy it.

It's true that Russian propaganda is rightly dismissed. It would be good if there were skepticism of all propaganda. In a wartime even more than normal, it's important to get an accurate reading of reality.
