Because 90% of propaganda is choosing what to talk about and what not to talk about. Competent propagandists can stick to telling only the truth (although not the whole truth) and accomplish their goals.

Yeah, though sometimes they can’t avoid topics they don’t like. I did read some comments on a FR thread about Trump reassuring Xi that we’d stick to the One China policy. First it was “fake news,” then someone pointed out it was a White House press release, so they were disappointed in Trump briefly. Fortunately by about reply #42 they had realized this was part of some incredibly clever (but unspecified) plan on Trump’s part.
