Sure, but they're also not taking down correct information. Russia and China do both, western countries preserve freedom of the press, so governments have less sway (though they often get big media outlets to ignore certain topics in exchange for continued press access).
Western propaganda is more nuanced and thus harder to detect, because it has to be. But good information still exists if you look, and usually makes its way to the mainstream eventually. It's subliminal, and most people don't change the channel or close the blinds, but at least they have the option.
