The state want people to believe that SpaceX is bad?

Most people here keep telling me that VOA is a propaganda News outlet without any proof.

If it's a propaganda news outlet then it would not publish something like that.

I mean, Voice of America is explicitly a state funded propaganda organization used to advance American interests abroad.

I think the confusion most people have is that they incorrectly believe that propaganda means lies , it doesn't.

Propaganda is information published and used to influence opinions and actions. Doesn't matter if it's accurate, or inaccurate, information.

So yeah, VOA is a US government run propaganda outlet. While it doesn't mean that they're some dystopian disinformation factory, they also aren't typically breaking news either, so I would recommend using alternative sources without that baggage.
