Propaganda contains lies? Is water wet?

Does the average reader of this publication need to be told this?

Bad propaganda contains falsehoods. Good propaganda lies by omission. Great propaganda tells the truth, compellingly.

Edit: on the other hand, great propaganda is probably wasted on time periods like ours. Great propaganda isn't always effective propaganda.
