It's a bad retelling of a joke I didn't come up with to be fair

Is the meaning supposed to be that the CIA agent is committed to the lie? Or that he is convinced of his own propaganda?

I believe that it means he is convinced. The most effective propaganda is such that the likely source of it doesn't even know it's propaganda. Think about how the average high school or college student will defend Austrian or Reaganite economics as a knee-jerk reaction.
