It’s pretty dark that most people cannot tell what is AI and what’s not. Everything is accused of being AI when some of it isn’t. I don’t see how that’s a good thing.
I’m really interested to know if the Freedom 250 is in miles or km. If miles, that’s gonna be tough. The longest street track on IndyCar’s calendar right now is Long Beach at 177 miles.
250 km (155 miles) is way more in line with a typical race.
Reference:
Detroit’s layout, for reference, features a similar long strip and a lot of 90-degree turns. Detroit’s boasts a hairpin and a chicane, though. The Freedom 250 layout is comparatively bland.
IndyCar released its circuit for the Freedom 250 Grand Prix of Washington, D.C. and it looks awfully close to the Detroit Grand Prix layout.

Obviously it's complex. Fox News and MS Now's primetime is vastly different from its actual news programming. But even if Fox News and MS Now frame their stuff as commentary, it is still packaged like news. Viewers treat it like news.
Shows like LWT are not news shows. They are news adjacent.
LWT also acknowledges how Dems have gotten issues wrong. Propaganda does not. It frames its side as "righteous" without acknowledging how complex these discussions are.
The closest mainstream examples of propaganda are Fox News and MS Now primetime shows, which are packaged like news shows.
Political commentary ≠ propaganda.
The Daily Show and Last Week Tonight both frame themselves as left-leaning satire. Propaganda pretends to be neutral and informative. LWT is also highly self-critical. Oliver acknowledges he is not a journalist, he's a comedian, but his show hires journalists.
