That's a tough one, @dstne. Give me a few microseconds to consider it (Noflaps jokes).
On the other hand, when propaganda appears, we can respond with counter-argument, can't we?
And I DO prefer discussion -- in other words "more speech" in reply -- to cancellation or censorship.
If propaganda is mistaken, its publication gives us an opportunity to point out WHY we think it's mistaken. And that's not an opportunity we need to abolish.
As my thoughts crystallize, I think that so long as so-called propaganda doesn't involve insults and ad hominem attacks on other posters who dare to disagree with it, it is not something I would wish to ban.
I would prefer to answer it and hope some good would come of that. I believe my attitude is in the spirit of America's brilliant and sometimes under-appreciated First Amendment.

Right wing media is the most wide reaching propaganda machine on the planet. Don’t believe me, just ask them:
www.findlaw.com/legalblogs/greedy-associates/tucker-carlson-successfully-argues-nobody-really-believes-tucker-carlson-is-reporting-facts/
Or, just find the cases, they’ve already paid over $1B in lawsuits over reporting blatant lies.
