The word propaganda has a meaning. In this case I think it was used correctly.
Propaganda as opposed to information (what one would naively expect from a newspaper).
While a regular newspaper article would inform, propaganda would deceive with the intention of convincing people of some idea.
And frankly, Bezos does very little to deserve charity when people evaluate his actions.

The editorial board writes opinions. You're fundamentally just upset that they switched from writing about opinions you prefer, to ones that you don't like, but they've always been engaged in what you're characterizing as propaganda.
