Propoganda does have a legal definition though, it's not nearly as nebulous as all biased information. It does need to be purposefully distorting, either by falsifying information or by withholding relevant information. It also needs to be produced by an organized group or government, just making up nonsense about yourself doesn't count.
Yeah, that's true-- but all the laws where 'a reasonable person...' make me feel like the porn definition "I know it when I see it!"
