The trouble with government funded propaganda on the media now is that it is legal.

An Obama-Biden era law change called the Smith-Mundt Modernization Act of 2012 turned the purpose of the original Smith-Mundt Act on its head and allowed domestic propaganda to be funded by the U.S. Gov't.

That's the problem with government misdeeds - we pay for both crime and punishment.

The National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for Fiscal Year 2013 (Public Law 112-239) allows U.S. government officials to disseminate in the United States news and information programs produced by the government at taxpayers’ expense for audiences abroad.

What the Smith-Mundt Modernization Act of 2012, which was incorporated into the FY 2013 NDAA, did was to give government officials, specifically the State Department and the Broadcasting Board of Governors (BBG) officials, the power to disseminate these programs in the United States upon request.
