propagandising
Pushing biased messaging
Propagandising is the British spelling of propagandizing, meaning to spread ideas, information, or rumours designed to promote a particular cause or viewpoint, often with a suggestion of manipulation or bias.
Someone propagandising is actively working to shape public opinion, whether through media, speeches, or other channels.
The regime was accused of propagandising through state-controlled television.
The term carries negative connotations, implying that the information being spread may be misleading or one-sided.
