Propaganda is when China does it. Surely the US is not engaged in systemic propaganda.
I will say, it is a good idea to check what is on non-leftist spaces. You should know where other people's heads are at if you ever want to bring them to the left.
A good position to start advocating for is being against war with China. Get in with it before your friends/family are completely poisoned otherwise.
I check /r/politics a few times a week (and /r/conservative once or twice a month - they're a lot more predictable) just to get a basic idea of what they're focused on and the type of news they're reading. It can be a little painful, but I've noticed that there's a lot more socialist posting going on lately - in some cases people are even justifying their arguments with theory. It's definitely still lib HQ, but it seems like we've got the momentum.
But yeah, turn on NPR once in a while during your commute - it won't kill you, it will give you something to talk about with your lib coworkers and it will create openings to discuss socialist solutions.
