      Let’s hope that the oligarchs that own the news we watch, the newspapers we read, and the streaming service we consume, stay kind and don’t start using those platforms for spreading propaganda! Man I’d be so upset if it turns out that all this time I’ve been watching and reading propaganda and taking it as fact and basing my opinions on it.
