You have two sides pushing their own propaganda. The truth is somwhere in the middle usually. Knowing the actual truth is in most cases impossible.

This is exactly the view that propaganda pushes. There are not two sides, but rather a complex tapestry of different actors with many different philosophies which are inconsistent and change over time.

Compressing that all down to "two sides" serves an agenda, and does a disservice to understanding the world for what it is.
