To the extent that it has been exposed, yes, it is now publicly known, and to the extent that it hasn’t been, it’s not.
I pointed you to some of the seminal and most often cited works on the theory and practice and history of propaganda. Instead of telling us that you question the very validity of the term “propaganda” out of ignorance, how about engaging with the literature, or the Wikipedia entries about the literature, or the YouTube explainers about the literature?
I’m trying to nail down what propaganda is so we can talk about it. It’s not much use taking about it if we mean different things.
I’d define propaganda as misconstruing the truth towards political ends. If it’s commercial ends rather than political, it’s false advertising. If it’s not misconstruing, then it’s advertising or public communications. Just to set a baseline.
I can’t find what your sources are defining as propaganda from a brief look, so let’s compare to my definition.

Okay cool, so your definition of propaganda is any communication for political ends?
