Why am I seeing multiple news reports today about Joe Biden where they remove context to polarize his comments further? This feels, to me, like a new media trend

Propaganda?

It doesn’t need to be propaganda, just maximizing clicks will do that for you organically.

Yes. Foreign or domestic. Who knows?

CNN is owned by Warner Bros. Discovery, an American company.

The post, not the site.

Every news article posted here and across all platforms is public relations, or propaganda. You need / must understand this. There are 1200 stories, graphics, and videos posted per day, just from the Wash. Post. source

the number includes both staff-produced articles and wire stories, written elsewhere. The *Post *editorial staff itself produces about 500 stories per day, she said.

Every story is curated in some way as it filters here. Users decide what they deem worthy of posting.

It’s all propaganda, unless it’s my side. /s

It ain't new, half of W's bushisms were an attempt to avoid giving news media a sound bite or quote out of context
