You said...." It's important to keep propaganda like this in perspective.".... There was a ship. It did have traces of radioactive substances. it was being held 6 miles off shore until it was cleared to travel on. Propaganda. publicity intended to spread ideas or information that will influence public opinion. Propaganda to a mind like yours maybe but to the average person just a news item. But many of the items that you post are not known facts or are writings of those that we could consider the enemy and I suppose one could consider that stuff propaganda used to influence public opinion. So IMO a news item that is occurring at the time it is made public is fact and not propaganda.
