There is a knee-jerk reaction surrounding the word propaganda. Etymology of the word is Latin for “what is to be disseminated” and it can be used with or without the malicious connotation. Also telling apart the distinction between wartime propaganda (psychological warfare) and political propaganda might help. The commonplace usage of the term is better illustrated by “manufacturing of consent”.
