Maybe they are not pushing propaganda. Just because News Corp. (owners of Fox News, the Wall Street Journal, News of the World, etc.) ignores journalistic and societal ethics, and simple honesty, doesn't mean that others do the same. It's an interesting argument, to set their own standards so low and then persuade their audience that everyone else is equally dishonest. Much to the misfortune of the nation and world, the current conservative establishment built its power on propaganda that overcomes any level of absurdity with aggressiveness. Bill O'Reilly, Rush Limbaugh and the Wall Street Journal editorial page are good examples. For example, they led the nation to war over WMD in Iraq, they deny climate change, they talk about death panels, Obama's citizenship, etc. I don't see that elsewhere on the political spectrum. There are fringe left-wing outlets, but they aren't the top-rated cable news channel and leading newspaper.
