Well, I did admit "Homer" was a better word. "Propaganda," on its face is not hyperbolic in this sense, nor is it necessarily a negative word. Only due to fairly recent events is there a fully negative connotation (which I also alluded to), so I don't know what to tell you.

@LinvilleGorge or any mod feel free to change the term. Thanks.

Lol. Propoganda has been a charged word for well over 100 years. Are you a vampire?

J-Stew is an ex-panther who is a huge fan of the team and also on the pay role.  He also knows these guys personally.

Is it good marketing?  Propaganda? An opinion?  His argument in a court of law?

I think the real question is what the fug does it matter?

I don’t know about the word itself, but people use propaganda as a tool through they can obtain political power. 
 

People that do propaganda suck.
 

 Stew is biased. He isn’t twisting facts lobbying and trying to fool people, he just has an opinion.  I would maybe call him a somewhat of a shill though, when he minimizes negatives to paint the organization in the most positive light he can.
 

He is being paid by the team. 
Also, he knows the players personally. 
You aren’t gonna get any controversial negatives out of him publicly.

Even if you're somewhat correct--not totally--it's still not hyperbole.

I mean, why does any of this stuff matter? Just something to shoot the sh¡t about.

Propaganda is the direct implication that this is he being used by the Panthers to spout a message.

This is a poor example of that, in my estimation. He is far more likely to just be a homer. This isn't abnormal behavior from him.

It's hyperbolic because you are spinning it as some greater thing from Panthers HQ, which is very likely is not.

You realize that it doesn't have to come from the Panthers HQ to be spin? If you live and breath something---basically drink the Kool aid---espousing the company line can come natural.

I don't know if I've every heard someone use the word, "Propaganda" and not mean it in a negative context.  The same goes for phrases like "agents of the organization" or "drinking the kool-aid".

Even if you're not, it comes across as negative and insulting to Stew.  He's never been the type of person to be critical of individuals.  Just not his style.  Doesn't mean he's trying to pull a fast one, mislead you, or outright lying.

Should employees of the Panthers be objective when interacting with fans?  Is that even reasonable?

Some of you are reading way too much into this. I've already said that "Homer" was a better choice of word. Agent of an organization is just that. Nothing inherently wrong with that. And, yes, Stew is obviously drinking the Kool-Aid. There's nothing inherently wrong with that. He loves his team even to the point of being a homer. There's nothing inherently wrong with that either. I said that I thought that it was way too early to declare Bryce the long term starter based upon his body of work, and that's what I meant. From what I've gathered from comments here, Stew has a Pollyanna attitude when it comes to the team. Noted. I'll just take that into account when he's discussing the team.

Good grief, you'd think that I called the man a traitorous mole sent to infiltrate the fans and manipulate our minds by chicanery. 

This might be the last time I start a thread before the crack of dawn. I guess a I'll have to have my caffeine next time.

He definitely skews positive but when things get very bad he actually points it out on the one podcast I watch with him and the media dude i forget the name of. They both got pretty upset when we lost to the saints both times iirc. 

Although the closest he's really ever gotten to criticizing bryce was "we can't really do anything about him as our qb" lol

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By Tepper's Chest Hair · Posted

      Sometimes its fun to read the threads/posts.  The panthers could literally hire a groundskeeper and we'd have a thread "improving the field for no other reason to prop up Bryce Young".  Apparently no move is ever done to actually make the team better.  All a conspiracy to just focus on Bryce Young. Or suddenly daydreaming and reminiscing about Sam Darnold when he was hated more than Bryce Young.  Its really fun to do a message board search about Darnold during that time period.   Or thinking there is just a tree that grows QB, and you can just easily go up and pluck one.

      Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying.

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.
