After a point, sufficiently competent propaganda is indistinguishable from information.

If you make the bias so subtle that people actively looking for it can't find it, you're just doing a decent job describing the topic. Sure, the cumulative slant across hundreds of pages might be enough to tweak populations at the margins, but I don't think that's a bigger negative than access to the information is a positive.

And any other source of information is hardly going to be unbiased anyway. Everyone has an opinion!
