this article takes a very limited view of propaganda. the vast majority of material that the average human is exposed to on a daily basis could be considered to be propaganda.

If all your sources say the same things, how would it be different from propaganda?

All my sources say that the earth is a geoid rather than flat, and that's not propaganda.

I really lament the fact that so many people have never moved past the "nothing is really knowable" stage of epistemology. That, and the middle-ground fallacy.
