You can't just say "blah blah propaganda, blah blah misdirection" every time you see a news article from a war zone.
"The answer: this is war propaganda. There are no real facts here, only half-truths and mis-direction." [Emphasis mine.]
Calling everything around you propaganda may seem like an easy way to look smarter than everyone else, but it is a painfully transparent move when you can't back it up with substance. It's even worse when you try to pretend you weren't doing it.
And you think this doesn't involve any propaganda at all?
I would assume that the primary purpose of the article is to generate advertising and subscription revenue.
