to invade Ukraine, question the legitimacy of the rapes and torture on October 7, and go out of their way to provide a forum for those who agree with their agenda, without ever providing an opposing point of view, that is propaganda.

it has a very left-leaning bias and chooses stories that promote its agenda.
