It's actually even more sinister than that. The people don't believe the propaganda anymore, so the CCP launders the propaganda through western liberal media on the CCP's payroll and then imports those laundered stories from e.g. CNN, NY Times, Wall St. Journal for internal consumption. This way they fool people into believing that since a country with freedom of press reported it, it must be true. Obviously, the stories that contradict the official CCP stance are never imported.
Bannon the Barbarian. The most feared man in Beijing!

Sounds just like the circular reporting scam the FBI were using to convince judges to issue FISA warrants against Team Trump.
