Nobody Seems to Have an Answer for Propaganda Posing as Local News

I maybe check my mail monthly because I handle everything electronically. A week ago I did, and it was crammed to the gills with at least half a dozen of these stupid papers. To confirm the OP, I live in Illinois.<p>edit: oh, also confirming that they were extremely right-wing.

Why would anyone have a problem with it? They are simply agents in the free market of ideas. Markets can&#x27;t function without a diversity of competing suppliers and propagandists supply what&#x27;s demanded. Likewise, if truth is important to enough people, more truthful news outlets will spring up.

Thought this would be talking about a different phenomena I&#x27;ve noticed - Chinese propaganda articles that are hosted on clones of actual local news websites but with a slight modification in the domain name.

That&#x27;s why the local newscaster still remains an important component of modern free press; this provides for identifiable aspect of credibility with regard to news transmittals.<p>But, what do I know outside of Civic 101.

I think we won&#x27;t real have progress until the non-digital generation dies out. The older part of the population vulnerable to this garbage is the also the part of the population with the most idle time, the most likeliness to vote, and the most money, so it will be the most propagandized to.

I got an answer for it. Turn it all off.

They are correct to have a tighter focus on the right wing propaganda but the truth is nearly every local news outlet, regardless of ownership or alleged leanings acts as propaganda for police basically any chance they get.<p>Obviously &quot;submarine&quot; is an overused term on this board but check out basically any crime &#x2F; police related articles from your local &quot;real&quot; news site and see how many of them <i>only</i> source police in virtually every article. Sometimes I wonder if there is even a human at the news org tasked with rewriting the police press releases or if they are just touched up via an AI writing service.
