VOA is not propaganda with quotes, it is real propaganda produced by American government targeted at other (mainly eastern European) countries. It is the same thing they complain about in RT and similar state controlled news stations.
It is propaganda in the most technical sense of the word, which is why I used it. I put it in quotes because it is a very loaded word with colloquial connotations that depart from the technical sense.
A fair and accurate statement made with the intent to influence does, in fact, meet the dictionary definition of propaganda. This is not, however, the way that the word is typically used.
