It is challenging to draw a bright line between journalism that contains some bias and outright propaganda.

I'm willing to put forward a simple test: does the source publish retractions and corrections?

I would guess that the NYT does and Breitbart does not.

And that's why it's really stupid to dismiss outlets you don't like as propaganda.
