For some time it has been known that most people do not read, or, if they do read, read only minimally. Propaganda is being transmitted basically through carefully photographed and edited videos, distributed in many different ways (TV, Youtube, social media, and so on.) While this is unfortunate, it's also superficial and temporary and could probably be subverted by people who took the time and made the effort to understand it.
Yeah, that's basically what the coverage has been in Ukraine, pictures of the devastation Russia has wrought. The dynamics and politics that brought it about is a blank to most people who have little interest in what happened, and maybe if they are interested they turn to their gurus like Rachel Maddow, or Sean Hannity to explain things. Also people can't deal with shades of grey. It's black and white thinking, Russia bad, Ukraine good, America said so.
