Propaganda is some information, like a poster or newspaper article or leaflet or tv broadcast etc, which only gives one very strong point of view to try to influence people to a certain way of thinking.
So, NON propaganda is something in these media which tells only the truth and gives a balanced view, or explains that there are different opinions about something, or which just doesn't try to give any opinion at all.
So, a leaflet which is an instruction sheet for a washing machine is not propaganda. A newspaper article about a big hurricane is not usually propaganda if it just describes the effects of the hurricane. A poster reminding people to vote in an election but which doesn't try to tell them who to vote for is not propaganda. A TV show about cooking is not propaganda.
The best statement to describe him is: he is greatful; he is clearly greatful for the help he’s receiving with helen and is willing to compensate in cash for it
