    “That there was a craigslist ad” is evidence of absolutely nothing. Let’s review that headline:

    • Election commissioner Yup.
    • presents evidence Nope.
    • that Trump Nope.
    • caught Nope.
    • paying people to attend rally Yup.

    So the somehow more accurate headline reads:

    Election commissioner ‘paying people to attend rally’

    This article is bullshit propaganda. And before you cry foul, check my comment history. We should all demand accurate journalism about everything, and call it out when it’s bullshit.

      Propaganda news articles on Lemmy? shocked Pikachu

      There’s pieces of shit on all sides. Of course, pieces of shit would never consider themselves pieces of shit. But being active in smear wars is a good indicator, whether politics, consoles, social issues, etc.

        And yet only the “pieces of shit” on one “side” want a theocratic dictatorship that oppresses minorities and queer people.

        Here’s what I did: Called out bullshit journalism, and because there’s all sorts of propagandists floating around, made sure to distinguish myself from them.

        Here’s what you did: “aLl SiDeS-ed” it like a propagandist would do.
