Is all propaganda a "malicious distortion of truth", or just Russian? The US has vastly more resources to push its own propaganda via its controlled media, infecting the AI much faster and stronger?
Note that simple truth is not usually propaganda. "US is the most free country" is propaganda. "Ukraine is under attack by Russia" is not. "Russia is under attack by Ukraine", while technically true since they are fighting back against Russia's army, is malicious distortion because you know perfectly well that people won't understand it to mean that.
