For the purposes of this topic, the definition of propaganda is... 1. the spreading of ideas, information, or rumor for the purpose of helping or injuring an institution, a cause, or a person 2. ideas, facts, or allegations spread deliberately to further one's cause or to damage an opposing cause The point being, the point of the "propaganda" is to deliberately be biased, whether you agree with the idea being pushed or not.
