English term or phrase: Base propaganda.
Un político renuncia a su cargo en el Gobierno ya que se opone a las ideas del presidente y dice:

And I quit because I couldn’t stand the Administration's Propaganda! It’s base propaganda. Basis propaganda based on simplification, repetition, demonization, and a complete disregard for truth.

A la traducción al español: "propaganda base" no le encuentro sentido. Sé que "base" también tiene un sentido de "unworthy", pero quisiera estar más segura. Gracias!

En tu texto no hay que confundir "base propaganda" con "basis propaganda". Propongo la siguiente traducción para la frase completa: "¡Y dimití porque no podía soportar la propaganda del gobierno! Es una propaganda despreciable. Una propaganda de base fundamentada en la simplificación, la repetición, la demonización, y en un absoluto desprecio de la verdad"
