I'm trying to nail down what propaganda is so we can talk about it. It's not much use taking about it if we mean different things.

I'd define propaganda as misconstruing the truth towards political ends. If it's commercial ends rather than political, it's false advertising. If it's not misconstruing, then it's advertising or public communications. Just to set a baseline.

I can't find what your sources are defining as propaganda from a brief look, so let's compare to my definition.
