To propagandize is to spread that kind of information — to try to make people agree with a government or political group by pushing a story that is false, or that shows only one part of what is going on. It is a verb, the doing-word. You can propagandize people (aim the message at them) or propagandize for a party or an idea (work to sell that side). It is a heavy, usually critical word. Teachers, journalists, and historians use it; friends talking about a TV ad would more likely say “they’re pushing an idea” or “that’s propaganda.” Though actually, American English likes the spelling propagandize; British English often propagandise. The meaning is the same. You will meet it in writing about and war more than in everyday chat, and it almost always sounds like an accusation, not a job title someone chose for themselves.
對人做政治宣傳、灌輸(帶貶義;不是中性的「做宣傳」)
組成From propaganda + -ize (to make / to do that).
