If propaganda is just the the propagation of ideas whether factual or not, should we cease to use it as a derogatory term for misinformation/disinformation and instead just call it such?

I have read Edward Bernays’ Propaganda, short book, basically explaining how most things people want or believe is from elaborate propaganda with figures we don’t even know deciding such things, he also lays out a method of advertising to make people want things they wouldn’t have any reason to want otherwise.
