A few details that make me doubt the authenticity of this news item, or
perhaps the accuracy with which it is reported.

The terms "black" and "white" do not refer to the question of whether
the propaganda message is false or true. Instead, they refer to whether
the true source of the message is declared or disguised. "Black"
propaganda purports to emanate from a source other than the true one.
The message itself, however, may be either false or true.
