I cannot state, from my own knowledge, that the story is true. But I do NOT see any evidence that it IS propaganda, as was claimed at the top of this thread. Nor have I seen any valid reason to KNOW that it was propaganda.

It may or may not be a true story, in this case. But to claim that "This is the biggest load of garbage I've read in a while." is over the top, and has not been justified by any of the comments here.

Quite the opposite.

YOU are claiming that it is propaganda: the burden of proof THAT IT IS FALSE is upon you. I will listen to whatever you care to present- BUT I do not accept your OPINION ( which you are certainly entitled to) as FACTUAL evidence.
