Agreed, this campaign/narrative though was different. Ultimately, you are right and I am guessing wave one of this- https://www.rt.com/usa/smith-mundt-domestic-propaganda-121/ It appears intended to introduce a need for censorship, directed heavily at the left who would ordinarily tout freedom of expression. Mountains of coverage while never showing proof that anyone changed their vote due to nonsense news, skipping details about what happened inside facebooks curated news feed, without ever addressing MSM bias for Clintion etc. MSM, had "journalists," (of all people) introduce the notion of censorship by suggesting that the right is easily duped and now continually maintains that it needs to be censored. There is more to it but in essence all of it alarmed me into rethinking plenty.

I pretty much look at all media as shades of propaganda, if not overt all of it tends to have an inner or structural sort of leaning.
