my take: propaganda is engineered to distort a view, perhaps to advantage. 'false information' is used to throw others through a loop or get them to investigate false leads, thus slowing/tangling them. most propaganda has an obvious assumption/take included with it; "China is taking our work, so hate China." "While our troops are fighting for freedom against Evil Dictator in Etcistan." most false information has an open premise ; "could be aliens. how do you know the world isn't flat, have you seen it? she could be a lizard person.." but to be clear : both are used by governments to enact methods of power and control.
