Let's talk about information manipulation, which is carried out within the framework of information and mental operations or propaganda. It is known that the basis of the news feed should be the facts - that is, the events that took place. Their actual coverage, which is not loaded with political and personal load, should be the basis of the news broadcast by the media. Further, on the basis of the news, opinions (of various experts and opinion leaders) arise. Opinions can already have a personal or political connotation and should be perceived by citizens exclusively in this format. 

So, event - news - opinions... Fact - its description - its interpretations... 

What does an unscrupulous propaganda machine do? It takes events (facts), and instead of describing them (news), it gives the consumer opinions (interpretations) from specially selected experts. The selection of experts (interpretations that will be issued for news) allows citizens to form public opinion in the right way for propaganda. 

How to protect yourself from propaganda? Realizing that propaganda relies on the lowest mental characteristics and triggers of an individual, independently evaluate events (facts). Truth, as a rule, is based in the middle of polar opinions.
