Note
A plural that cuts against the grain of its noun, which is usually uncountable: one normally speaks of propaganda, not of propagandas. The plural appears when separate campaigns, rival regimes or national outputs are set side by side and counted. It keeps the singular's usual edge of biased, emotionally charged messaging. The older Catholic meaning, spreading the faith through missionary work, now belongs mainly to history.
