Thus why many people HATE propaganda the most when it is true. It is easy to dismiss untrue propaganda, but propaganda that is also the truth is hard to defeat.

Thus propaganda that is true is always called Propaganda as oppose to the truth, for the truth is the best propaganda and thus such stories MUST be attack more then any false propaganda.

Just a comment on your qualification means nothing, it still may be true, even if it is RUSSIAN PROPAGANDA (and I accept the concept it may be false, but calling it Russian Propaganda does not by itself make it true or false, just propaganda).

Any revolution he supports turns out making the people it was supposed to help far worse. This is the case with Libya, Syria, Iraq and now Ukraine. If you see him on TV egging you on, just do the complete opposite of what he is saying.
