It's one thing to have bias, which is unavoidable and important to keep in mind when both writing and reading. To declare it all propaganda or "telling them what to think" are extreme claims that require very solid evidence. To throw such accusations around lightly undermines trust and the possibility of discourse, or the idea that people can be acting in good faith even while acknowledging their bias. Why should I take anything you have to say seriously, or vice versa?
