I believe this simplistic definition applies somewhat to XV press releases:
Propaganda: "The intentional selective use or distortion of facts with the primary purpose to change, alter, or sway another's position or opinion on a matter at hand and not to widen, inform, or move a discussion along"
IMO most reasonable people should be able to agree often on facts. The issue usually goes astray on how they are interpreted.
I read the original article upon release numerous times.
Maybe I should review again to see what I missed.
