A hundred times yes. AP is inseparable from US imperialism. It projects the Pentagon's version of reality to a global audience. Through sheer volume it floods the airwaves to the detriment of other countries' own news agencies, sets the agenda, and is integral to US hegemony, as soft power.
Yeah, guess you're right, but aren't the latter two just variations of calling someone a cop?
It's pretty common to see terms like "Russian propaganda" and "Chinese propaganda", while "American/EU propaganda" is seldom spoken about, at least in Western countries.
Doesn't the lack a pejorative for someone who follows western propaganda somewhat speak to the propagandistic aspect of this term as well as the whole "tankie" fad?
Never heard of diplomacy? These US security experts had a nice idea back in May:
We advocate for a meaningful and genuine commitment to diplomacy, specifically an immediate ceasefire and negotiations without any disqualifying or prohibitive preconditions. Deliberate provocations delivered the Russia-Ukraine War. In the same manner, deliberate diplomacy can end it.
It's about methodology more than research questions, although they are of course linked. Incorporating digital methods in your humanities project, like GIS, 3D modeling or ABM, will quickly land you in digital humanities. Remember though, humanities have a lot of theory and methodology you might be unfamiliar with as a CS student, so teaming up with someone who has those skills but lack in programming etc. will synergize in this field.
