America is generally fairly conservative; that a public organ should express that is hardly surprising.
Government 'control' of a media organ needn't be affiliated in any specific place on the political spectrum - the BBC (which operates in a grey area of state control, I'd argue) definitely has a bias, but there's plenty of representation of a fair amount of political middle-ground.
I'd say the government has a duty to represent and support many areas of culture. 'The media' (which is a very broad term) should definitely factor in that.
The American government (by my understanding) has plenty of statutory bases for avoiding 'propaganda' in its most transparent form. Of course, it's difficult to seriously know, but I would generally rather trust the state over the private sector on these sorts of things, even if that state involves, say, Mugabe.
