The point of being an adult I think is that we are not a leaf that is blown back and forth by the wind as we listen to different perspectives. Otherwise the pro-Israel information would also be propaganda that would not allow any other perspective.
The term "propaganda" in essence means simply biased information, not false information. (Therefore when I use the term I mostly use the words:
"falsehood propaganda".)
Thus, information only from the Israeli point of view could be termed "propaganda" due to the exact meaning of that word (yet while not being false information).
By the way, when I present information seeking to debunk Palestinian Arab falsehood propaganda, and because I first explain the latter before providing the debunk with objective sources, my information is not propaganda.
I'm also a friend of free speech. Free speech is quite rightly the right to express one's opinion. However, as a news/media organization CNN should not provide biased-information. Further down the text of that CNN source, by providing (albeit within comments of others) only the Palestinian Arab point of view devoid of any alternative, this presents the reader with just one view, which therefore amounts to propaganda biased to the Palestinian Arabs. That is all I was seeking to point out.
