    I think that the one and only goal of the South China Morning Post is normalize authoritarian, anti-democratic propaganda.

      Why does that matter?

      A standard part of HS education is to take a bunch of sources; good, bad, and even adversarial, and aggregate that into a holistic understanding.

      Did we just forget how to do that?

        No one needs this crap for a ‘holistic understanding’. What you are doing is justifying extremist and violent propaganda.

            I think that the one and only goal of the South China Morning Post is to normalize authoritarian, anti-democratic propaganda. Such ‘sources’ should be banned, as they are no reliable media by definition. We shouldn’t accept ‘media’ published by some Nazi party either (I hope we agree in this point). So that’s basically the same thing.

              I strongly disagree with that. I sought out and watched Triumph des Willens precisely because it was on of the most famous examples of propaganda in history.

              It’s really hard to understand things without knowing about them.

              This comment has a lot of strong claims about China and the SCMP. Since you hate propaganda so much, I assume you have strong, objective evidence backing up those claims.
