It pops up all the time, it's a waste of time and I'm sure it has been used countless of times to discard some piece of information. It doesn't add up anything productive to the comments, people who comment don't even say anything they actually think they just "did you know that MBFC says this so it has to be truth?" I could go on but I think you get the idea.

You don't need to trust the institution, you need to read the article and use brain power to differentiate "propaganda" from actual information. You won't be able to do much reading the headline, it doesn't matter if it comes straight out of Putin's ass hole or from Biden's dick.

From half of these comments I'm not seeing a lot of brain power used to avoid propaganda and just a lot of people buying into it
