When you try to balance the facts to see how real they are and they don't align, that is obviously a propaganda.
It can be tough to tell what’s real these days. I usually look for a few things: if the story seems overly dramatic or too one-sided, that’s a red flag. I also check if other reliable sources are covering it or if it’s just this one outlet pushing the story.
When CNN was running propaganda against Trump, it was very easy to know because they always amplified the negatives around Trump and downplayed the positives.
