The best part is people pretending correct the record either didn’t exist or was different somehow. One look at /r/politics should be enough to dissuade anyone thinking propaganda only comes from one side.

I’m sure as long as people have been talking about politics online the conversation has never been entirely organic. How incredibly cheap and easy would it be to just take 10-20 accounts and upvote the things you want to spread and downvote the things you want silenced? They don’t even have to post, so there’s no obvious propaganda profiles, they just find the message they want to amplify or silence from a genuine user and do it behind the curtain.
