I know exactly what the word propaganda means, and used it correctly.

Do you? Here are a few similar meanings . . .

Definitions of propaganda on the Web:

Control of information, ideas, facts, or allegations spread deliberately to further one's cause or to damage an opposing cause
ias.berkeley.edu/orias/2003/peace/glossary.htm

A way of presenting a belief that seeks to generate acceptance without regard to facts or the right of others to be heard. Propaganda often presents the same argument repeatedly, in the simplest terms and ignores all rebuttal or counter-argument. It is essentially self- interested and often associated with authoritarian regimes. Propaganda is often used to convey official descriptions of reality, when it may be allied with bureaucratic control of media, censorship of opposing opinions and deliberate misinformation.

Lies that a government will tell to its people or to others around the world to hide the truth.
