Is J-Stew a team propagandist?

Well, I did admit "Homer" was a better word. "Propaganda," on its face is not hyperbolic in this sense, nor is it necessarily a negative word. Only due to fairly recent events is there a fully negative connotation (which I also alluded to), so I don't know what to tell you.

@LinvilleGorge or any mod feel free to change the term. Thanks.

Lol. Propoganda has been a charged word for well over 100 years. Are you a vampire?

If you know your world history, you will know this has always been a charged word.

Stewart never says anything negative about any panthers player

J-Stew is an ex-panther who is a huge fan of the team and also on the pay role.  He also knows these guys personally.

Is it good marketing?  Propaganda? An opinion?  His argument in a court of law?

I think the real question is what the fug does it matter?

I don’t know about the word itself, but people use propaganda as a tool through they can obtain political power. 
 

People that do propaganda suck.
 

 Stew is biased. He isn’t twisting facts lobbying and trying to fool people, he just has an opinion.  I would maybe call him a somewhat of a shill though, when he minimizes negatives to paint the organization in the most positive light he can.
 

He is being paid by the team. 
Also, he knows the players personally. 
You aren’t gonna get any controversial negatives out of him publicly.

Even if you're somewhat correct--not totally--it's still not hyperbole.

I mean, why does any of this stuff matter? Just something to shoot the sh¡t about.

Propaganda is the direct implication that this is he being used by the Panthers to spout a message.

This is a poor example of that, in my estimation. He is far more likely to just be a homer. This isn't abnormal behavior from him.

It's hyperbolic because you are spinning it as some greater thing from Panthers HQ, which is very likely is not.

You realize that it doesn't have to come from the Panthers HQ to be spin? If you live and breath something---basically drink the Kool aid---espousing the company line can come natural.

I don't know if I've every heard someone use the word, "Propaganda" and not mean it in a negative context.  The same goes for phrases like "agents of the organization" or "drinking the kool-aid".

Even if you're not, it comes across as negative and insulting to Stew.  He's never been the type of person to be critical of individuals.  Just not his style.  Doesn't mean he's trying to pull a fast one, mislead you, or outright lying.

Should employees of the Panthers be objective when interacting with fans?  Is that even reasonable?
