Agreed on all counts... which was sort of my point... it's all "propaganda"... it comes from the left, it comes from the right, take your pick.

prop·a·gan·da
n.
1.The systematic propagation of a doctrine or cause or of information reflecting the views and interests of those advocating such a doctrine or cause.
2.Material disseminated by the advocates or opponents of a doctrine or cause: wartime propaganda

Notice that the definition doesn't contain a negative connotation... that's something societal. Propaganda is information pushing your beliefs, be it fact or fiction. Just because it might be a viewpoint one doesn't agree with, doesn't make it any less true if it's fact.
