Propaganda is a fact of life. It occurs at every level in every field. It is up to the individual to look at what is being said and determine for themselves what is relevant.
So what if a foreign government or foreign company or foreign group takes out advertisements or reveals "information" during any election or other event. Considering the "facts" that are "revealed" by opposing political sides during the pre-election period or during pre-legislative processes, there is no functional or ethical difference.
As one of your respondents pointed out with the question regarding "good for the goose, good for the gander", any group including governments cannot point the finger, if they themselves are actively involved in what they are decrying of others.
You appear to forget that national elections have effects that are extra-territorial, so those extra-territorial affected entities are going to act on their own behalf. The US regularly spreads propaganda during the elections of other sovereign nations, so if you don't want the reverse to happen it is up to you to stand up and fight against your own nation doing it to others.
