propagandist
Significado: A person who produces or spreads propaganda — biased or misleading information used to promote a particular political cause or point of view.
Propagandist is strongly pejorative, implying deliberate distortion of facts to serve an agenda. It is frequently applied to state media operatives, political spin doctors, and online disinformation campaigns. The word carries historical weight from the world wars, when propaganda was industrialised by all sides. In British discourse, calling someone a propagandist is a serious accusation, denying their credibility as a neutral source of information.
