Atleast 2 old and 2 new propagandas on an average PTI smt circulates everyday but it mostly stays within their own bubble. Consider it their daily dose of motivation to stay loyal and true to the cause. It's the content overall that is being shared online that needs a fact-check.

Despite knowing he's a paid actor, i get emotional everytime bcz his expression are damn convincing and so does this woman whos really worried about her mother (her maid) or can't even buy vegetable. I mean it's impossible to keep track of all the content PTI produces everyday.

You expect such theatrics from PTI but not media.
Field reporting is the main function of Journalism, it's backbone and when reporting is compromised it really doesn't matter who sits on the screen, viewers will not be able to learn the facts.

War against Propaganda & Disinformation.

Firstly, Thank you everyone for your immense support.

I will use simple language & non-technical terms as this thread will be translated into Spanish and Urdu.
I'm Wahid, scientific Journo & volunteer researcher for EU Disinfo com intl.

I can't even count how many times people asked me "How to spot a propaganda account or a website".
So we'll be discussing how to spot "Disinformation & Propaganda" in accordance with International legal standards.

Let's look into "@/Declaracion ihrf/.world" in detail.

State has a duty to withhold but every citizen have the right to information of public related matters. When citizens lacks info, they start believing disinformation & propaganda.

Every time i tweet, instead of questioning their leaders, Insafi starts calling me a Patwari, Jiyala, tout etc because they have no details about my past. PTI smt ran malicious/abusive campaigns against highly respected Journos/others who had their info available for public.

Those campaigns were to discredit each and every influential person PTI or it's handlers had nothing to blackmail with or they were not up for sale. Name one person PTI accused of a wrongdoing and then proved it's accusation? I can provide over 30 names who PTI wrongly accused.

Also, PTI supporters asks every time i tweet, "Why don't you write against PDM?"
I don't because for over a decade Journalists were either paid or pressurized to write against them, i dare you to mention 1 out of total 120 months when PTI/agents didn't falsely accuse someone.

Believe it or not but political propaganda and deliberate dissemination of exaggerated & fabricated news is one the main reasons why we are not progressing. It has weakened our socialization process, greatly damaged media freedom and now pushing us into conflict and violence.

Most creative propaganda campaign by PTI overseas. It's a Russian propaganda technique called "Firehose of Falsehood". For this type of propaganda to work, you need minimum 5 participants. It's rapid and so persuasive that you can't help but react to it.
