Do you think any of what's going on with ISIS is actually newsworthy? How does one distinguish between legitimate news and propaganda?
Serious questions
Watch the video and let me know how credible his story is to you. Remember that he is someone who lives off of donations.
Hey, stuff like that happens. No doubt. But this account is a story.
How to recognize propaganda? When a story has much more emotional value than factual value. And the evidence is questionable or just based on hearsay.
