> Nearly all news is propaganda, just at various levels of self-acknowledgment.

This is the propagandist's defense, like liars who say 'we're all liars', and criminals who say 'we all commit crimes', and the corrupt who say, 'everyone is corrupt'.

> It's good to read a diversity of perspectives.

A bland, and in this case, meaningless statement. There are no benefits to reading lies, and there are certainly an almost infinite number of more valuable perspectives to read.
