This seems like one of the areas where LLM generative AI could actually be a good thing. It would not be difficult to have such a system desensationalize the media we consume. It'd still be propaganda, but it would largely be toothless. Propaganda relies heavily on appeals to our fears and other emotions. Put it through a sieve that filters most of that out and it becomes much less engaging.
