Is it any wonder I tend to gravitate to video games where the main character is stranded alone somewhere. Subnautica, Satisfactory, Factorio, Antichamber...

I would say we peaked copaganda when Sonic 3 had the GUN general guy be a good guy. GUN was never Sonic's friend. They didnt even play City Escape in that movie. 5/10.

Everything is propaganda if it changes your view of something

Doesn't even need to change your mind.

That's too much of a generalization. Propaganda is far more specific.

Pretty much spot on, though that is the exact point of these kinds of shows.

It was part of a wave of shows launched to counter the media perception of incompetence in law enforcement/prosecution. They pushed a bunch of dangerously misleading (or even outright fake) claims such as the reliability and accuracy of forensic evidence which has been later used in actual court cases to imprison innocent people.

As always, Citations needed has done a brilliant job on this kind of stuff that's worth a listen.
