Well, as someone already stated, propaganda can work both ways.
Regarding the AOO "scaremongering," the AOO are part of Olympian history.
I'm not sure what you mean by "prejudices," as no one has stated any
(former) AOO faction names/RL names in the posts. The posts merely are
propaganda to suggest that the Yellowleaf invasion is akin to how the AOO
started. This is a legitimate use of Olympian history. (There is history
built in the game, as can be seen from some of the unique relics: Skull of
Basteric ther Archmonagedrytuire.)
Now, if names were mentioned, or if grudges were taken to Atlantis, for
example, then that's a legitimate gripe. The current AOO posts in the
Times are clearly relevant, however. They call upon history to analyze a
current event.

This is admirable.
