Beastie boys greatest hits album coming out? Interviews and “cute” stories that aren’t really news suddenly hitting the media is usually some kind of PR or marketing effort.

Sure, but marketing and PR arent propoganda unless they are pushing a political cause or point of view right?

Yes, good point, propaganda does connote promoting an ideology.
