You can pretty reliably predict that any article featuring the terms "myths" is going to be some kind of propaganda... The term is a rhetorical device which assumes that the conceptions you're arguing against are so childish that they don't merit serious discussion. Generally, it is used by some kind of authority trying to re-impose a black-and-white view of things on a complex, shades-of-gray world - "drug myths", etc.
