Excellent Anti-propaganda tips. To which I'll add: "What possibly important factors are specifically NOT being mentioned?" E.g. The infamous elephant in the room. We could mine numerous examples from the Protean narrative from the pandemic. For example, remember when it was the unvaccinated that were to blame for the spread of the virus? (Now, that might be trivially true; in fact, its worth noting that sometimes a half-truth is more dangerous than a complete fib.) As with any normal respiratory illness, it is a risk of it being spread by people when they're infected. Think of all the "Elephants" left unnamed: Why were the vaccinated getting infected? If they were getting infected, couldn't they spread the virus too?
Anti-propaganda cheat sheet (Kindergarten level):
1. Take official statement and invert it (turn it around): assume every utterance is a lie.
1a. If it's officially denied, it's probably true.
1b. If an opponent is attacked, he's being attacked for a reason, and it may be that he is speaking an inconvenient truth.
2. What is NOT being said or admitted? This may be the very most important thing.
