Would you say this map is propaganda? By who? The Ukrainian government? The one that can't get it's shit together to oppose this invasion, or really do much of anything managed to set up a whole bunch of very credible looking Twitter accounts, faked NATO satellite photos/reports, etc.? Ukraine has no propaganda because Ukraine doesn't have much of anything. These reports are very far from perfect, but they do seem to be coming from people with feet on the ground.

The propaganda is usually about how things are interpreted and portrayed not the facts themselves (e.g. offensive/defensive attack).

Yes. This part sums up how un-biased you are.

You do realize it's fact checked by people on computers who are probably sitting on their ass in US?

Do you think people in the conflict zones are fact checking it? Seriously?

You are playing telephone, that's what you are doing. We all know how that turns out.
