Propaganda doesn’t mean “incorrect information”. Propaganda means information disseminated w the intent to shape ones worldview.
More often than not - especially with capitalist propaganda - that is more easily done by telling some truths & leaving out half of the story to make its targets seem irrational or uniquely evil, than it is by making up straight-up lies.
Propaganda is also not only contained to the right. Especially in an era where everyone has blogs we all participate in disseminating information, we all pick and choose what information we share and what information we choose to ignore. There’s an element of personal responsibility in that. It’s worth being conscious of your own part in the spreading of misinformation and half truths, and whether certain posts or articles appeal to you because they are furthering your own worldview while leaving out important details.
