"Information, especially of a biased or misleading nature, used to promote or publicize a particular political cause or point of view."

Hmm. 'Used to promote'.

So it can be produced unintentionally but used intentionally.

This doesn't answer your question but kicks the can down the road.

The producers may be making a cute show. Those funding and airing it may interfere in the process to mold the message.

It can be wholly innocent all along or turned malicious along the journey to the audience.
