    Many on lemmy don’t like non-emotional driven facts because it makes it harder for them to manufacture the outrage.

      The atomic unit of propaganda isn’t lies, it’s emphasis. It’s quite easy to manufacture outrage without lying if you can pick which facts the consumer sees and how they’re contextualized.

      Here’s a PDF of Noam Chomsky’s Manufacturing Consent.

        You’ve ironically demonstrated the need for a bias checking bot. People will cite biased sources without contextualizing things like that Chomsky has a notable left leaning.
