Just learned about this word and I'm mildly annoyed it's only one letter away from being an anagram of tankie.

Doesn't the lack a pejorative for someone who follows western propaganda somewhat speak to the propagandistic aspect of this term as well as the whole "tankie" fad?
Wouldn't those be Lib, Fed, and pig with all its derivitives?
What do you call non-western propaganda anyway? Eastern propaganda just doesn't sound right even though it would be the most logical.
Yeah, guess you're right, but aren't the latter two just variations of calling someone a cop?
It's pretty common to see terms like "Russian propaganda" and "Chinese propaganda", while "American/EU propaganda" is seldom spoken about, at least in Western countries.
