Propaganda doesn't have to be inaccurate to be propaganda.

All it needs to do is fulfill an ulterior intent

The old Uncle Sam 'I want you' posters weren't even factual claims but they certainly were propaganda that led to many people signing up that would have otherwise lived.

So facts are propaganda now. Got it.

Actually yes. Something can be both true and shown in a biased or misleading way.

ideas, facts, or allegations spread deliberately to further one's cause or to damage an opposing cause

The dictionary proving me wrong is propaganda! /s

Fair enough, however.
