this is how propaganda works

they tell mostly truth, but 5-10% of it of propaganda

you won't notice it on first sight, otherwise you wouldn't watch it

but watching it for years daily have eroded your brain already

If your bar for “not propaganda” is 95% truthful, what news site is left that passes that test?

You misunderstand the test. A better way to state it would be: "they tell mostly truth, but 5-10% is deliberate, institutionally-sanctioned lies."

A lot of people can't seem to tell the difference between false statements and lies, and conflate the concepts all the time. Add hindsight into the mix, and it gets even worse.
