Yes, for 60 years at least (unless you're arguing that it's been going on longer than that; however, it's really a question of what you call modern media at that point). The difference being that there was no confusion that much of the propaganda released was very clearly from the government back then whereas nowadays (again, for about the last 60 years, as WWI occurred 100 years ago) it is obfuscated and presented as "unbiased private news"... which we know it's not.
