I think it’s been clear to most of us from the early days that the media is the second front in this war in way it’s never been.

“Success”, whatever that looks like, lies in getting the rest of the world to care more about your side and/or be too apathetic or paralyzed to side when your enemies.

That’s always been the case to some degree, but this conflict is dropping on a hyper-connected video world that is new.

It’d be foolish for the heads of either camp to not try to manipulate popular opinion. Sadly that makes it harder—though not impossible—to grok the truth, but practically I don’t see it ever changing for the simpler.
