Do you believe CNN is propaganda? People of a conservative bent tend to believe this is so....just like liberals believe Fox News is propaganda.

I would argue both CNN and Fox are propaganda, just in different ways and for different ends.

Fox has personalities like Tucker Carlson who denies that white nationalism is real and peddles the great replacement lie, while he and others promote the idiotic lie that Biden cheated and that Trump is still President. If that isn't just propaganda but also outright lies, I don't know what is.

Well I don't know if Biden's administration cheated or not, as not a lot of investigation seems to be going into it. However, the cheat is just an opinion. On Fox News shows, they will talk about news stories but they always back them up by showing footage of the event and talking to people from those events, so I feel that they are able to back up claims a lot.

For example, people say that the "border crisis" is not a crisis and it's just fox news propaganda. But on Fox news, they actually interviewed people who work at the border, who say it is a crisis and confirmed it. That's just one example, but it seems they are often able to back up their stories in that sense.

What is there to investigate? the allegations came from unreliable sources.

Well, Biden did not cheat. As plenty of state level Republicans, and even Trump's own AG William Barr, had all said the election was completely on the up and up, there really isn't a need for an investigation. And as Republicans in Arizona have damaged voting machines in their hairbrained, amateurish quest to prove Trump had actually won, I think it's more than fair to question the GOP's competency to carry out any sort of investigation.

I can't believe anyone is still giving oxygen to such a preposterous idea?

Its mostly the same opinions and interpretations over and over again, repeating cliche claims over and over with no real logic or evidence. Also following the money gives you a good idea as to the motives.

All modern media has a propaganda element. Their model is to make money by discussing what they think their audience wants to hear. CNN was extremely opposed to Trump, but they are more subtly in favor of an economically “centrist” elite. Same with MSNBC. They are very partisan against the right, but they still present a constrained ovorton window that just plain avoids certain topics. They also have a tendency to dumb everything down like they are talking to a toddler.

We don't have fair elections and fair trials since 46 took over. We are well on our way to becoming a communist nation. And our precious liberties are being chipped away by creepy joe will. We have the 1st,2nd. The 4th and the 10th come 2024?

I'm afraid you are alone in thinking the US is becoming a communist country (which sounded a little radical) so based on past experience where a random person throws a crazy claim I thought you might be trolling. But if not then you are welcome to your beliefs.

What evidence do you have to support any of those charges?
And America would be better off under that narcissistic, orange garbage bag filled with rotting fast food?

Republican gerrymandering ensured that was true long before Mango Mussolini held office.
