This won't "solve" propaganda or misinfo IMO. Checking logical consistency and eliminating fallacies still wouldn't address the selective presentation or omission of facts, for instance, and the notion that it could avoid misrepresenting a person or their values assumes that someone has already accurately and fully captured a detailed description of a person's values. But that's the whole problem!
This is just the formal specification problem all over again. Verifying software against a spec is good and useful, but verification doesn't tell you whether the spec itself correctly captured the desired objective, it can only tell you whether the spec is logically consistent and that you implemented it faithfully.
