I think the economist is great in how broad the coverage is, it's a great way to keep up with what's happening around the world. But it tends to have a very ideologically driven narrative, I think of it as basically neoliberal propaganda, so I always read it with a hefty helping of salt.

It isn't neoliberal propaganda, it is just editorially neoliberal. Having some particular editorial voice does not make something propaganda. Similarly, there are many magazines that are editorially progressive or socialist or any number of things, and are also not propaganda. Maybe this is all you meant, but if so, I don't think it is a useful definition of the word "propaganda".
