While I don't doubt that some of it is, calling it propaganda implies a deliberateness to me.

Most of this stuff isn't lies. It's different groups of people focusing on different parts of the same events. Most of the time when you get two competing narratives for an event, neither are actually dishonest, they're just a collection of events that tell a particular story that is of particular concern to a group. Usually the events all actually happened but their importance and relatedness are re-arranged.

You can spot the deliberateness when we go from the variable N to the other side saying !N, followed by !!N, and so on.

I’d argue we’re well past the days of distinct alternative narratives around events.
