    Subject to bias? Yes. Propaganda?

    Propaganda is biased + an agenda.

    If someone writes a 20 page screed on why X is bad and Y is superior, that may be an inflection of bias, it’s not propaganda unless there’s a larger agenda at play.

    It would be like saying all violence is terrorism. No, not quite. Terrorism is violence + an agenda.

      Capitalism perpetuates itself through propaganda. Corporations own media companies for profit to serve capitalism. Media personalities and writers display bias unconsciously for their corporations under capitalism. Therefore, all media is propaganda. They don’t even know they are doing it.
