Propaganda falls into a category similar to marketing. Neither is the factual truth, but since they are an accepted "truth" you can't call them a lie.

Like anything else there's honest marketing and dishonest marketing. We're all familiar with the dishonest marketing. We see it every day. Here's a good example of dishonest marketing:
A used car dealer has just taken in a badly mistreated piece of junk and he wants to unload it quickly so he calls his grandmother, asks her to drop by and take the car to the grocery store to do her shopping.
A little later he's showing the car to a customer and explains that it was driven by a little old lady to do her grocery shopping. The customer buys the car, convinced it must have a long history of good treatment.
The dealer never said one untrue word. That's honest marketing.
