What % of Americans who consider themselves 'journalists' should really, if they're honest, identify themselves as a 'propagandists'?

Depends on what sector. Politics is pretty bad especially in the US. And when I see journos at the Apple products launch, I guess tech journalism too have a propaganda aspect to it.

All of them, there is no real "view from nowhere" as you cant look at something without incorporating your own worldview, even if you try to minimize your bias, there is still a bias. If you claim to want to propagate "Fair and Balanced" news, you are still waiving that banner.

Propagandists, and/or activists. I'll Paypal $20 to anyone that can point me to just one journalist today that is neither of these things.

Most of the successful bloggers became "journalists," and blogging instead of local newspaper reporting became the farm system for major newspapers, with a corresponding change in newsroom norms.
