Our media isn't propaganda, because it doesn't fit the definition. Propaganda is slanted views that are approved or promulgated by the reigning regime in a country. The news in the US simply isn't like that: just look at how anti-Trump most of it is (not saying this is a bad thing). Propagandized media is where the news media is really nothing more than a mouthpiece for the current regime, as you see in China and Russia, and doesn't air views contradictory to that regime.

This isn't to say that our media is completely neutral. No media really is. But it doesn't represent our current government, it represents the interests of its owners, who have different interests than our current leaders, and are frequently at odds with them. And of course, we have multiple media outlets, who frequently disagree with each other, a good example being Fox News.

You're assuming @youpassbutter is American. Maybe he's calling your media propaganda.

EDIT: dear downvoters: Too often do people here on HN assume that everybody who writes comments is American. I'm going to continue calling that out because I think it has to change.
