Fair enough. Gotta think about this a little more I guess.

Very frequently propaganda relies on a single kernal of truth, and then changing the quantity, quality, or both of said truth. All it needs is some level of justification, then it can be molded like clay into whatever you need it to say.

When the audience/readership has no effective way of fact-checking what is said then they can (and do) just make it up to suit their narrative. Anything that contradicts the narrative is an "unreliable source."
