To separate the facts from propaganda is very hard for everyone here, so don't act like you know it all. At least to me, the mere publication of documents seems to be less biased than any news report... you can read the material and come to your own conclusions - no predefined POV by someone else.

I agree. Not very often when you read news articles then suddenly have that "something is missing" alarm ringing on your intuition-powered radar.
Propaganda is considered lying, presentation of untrue facts. Half-truths are more common than that these days considering that the internet has made possible for bit and pieces of information to float around the web, since it only requires quoting parts of the entire report to make it seem credible. However, either way still makes it biased.
To the end, it still boils down to the "can't be bothered" attitude of most Earthlings. A small proportion of these are lazy, while the rest are just plain stupid.
