Answer:

False.

Step-by-step explanation:

Propaganda is basically the information that a particular group, mostly political groups, that tries to influence people to be on their side. Propaganda are never objective, reflecting the idea of the power behind it. They present facts as truths, in order to sway the masses to sympathize with their cause and work against the very idea that the propagandists are against. Normally, these propaganda are selectively presented facts that seek to encourage a particular perception, thereby blinding the people to other ideas. So, the statement "Propaganda is the spreading of truth for the purpose of helping or injuring an institution, cause, or person" is false.
