The levels of disinformation coming out of Russia and China are very different than in the west. In the west, governments tend to try and justify their atrocities, not hide the fact that they ever happened. Even when Western governments do try to deny that something happened, it never seems to work very well. Either journalists get a hold of it, or an opposing faction takes control and releases the information.
Americans who are ignorant of American atrocities have actively chosen ignorance. That’s not true in China or Russia, and it’s definitely not true in North Korea. There is certainly a movement to try and make America that way though.
The levels arent different the type of propaganda is. It’s really impossible to judge from with in the propaganda bubble.
