By their own admission? "Lies to children" is just a variation of "slop for babies".
Or if you prefer pulling from Wikipedia's sources.
It's been years and I don't care to re-watch for the specific arguments but going through the list ones that I vaguely recall being not just "lies for children" but contained blatant, lack of better term, capitalist propaganda: Loneliness, Is meat bad for you, Overpopulation, marijuana, Geo engineering, whos to blame for climate change, UBI, banking explained.
I also recall a few especially bad ones on syria, the immigrant crisis, addiction and homelessness but those don't seem to be up anymore. You may be right that I am being overly harsh based on old history. Hopefully one they are trying to fix and not just whitewash.
