Please rename the title so it’s more coherent, thank you.

More unsubstantiated ramblings. Please, for once, can we get something that can be proved/disproved? This nonsensical bullshit is on par with theology.

I'm more surprised this even surfaced. I get a feeling in most other countries, this wouldn't be known about and everyone would just assume it happens.

I would suggest, as a kind of an amusing game in possible scenario ideation, to assume that the people who wrote and published this article are running with the presumption that people already know these things are happening. So the main goal of this, therefore, would not be to enlighten an ignorant audience.

We “know” that news are orchestrated. They’re not really news because they’re often planned weeks or months in advance. We “know” that the media is there to shape public opinion. But what could they write to appeal to our biases? Perhaps make a subset of us feel righteous, angry, or smug, on a given day? Play to our vices just to play with us and keep us occupied and entertained?

Think about every person who posts something like “panem et circenses,” as a response, and imagine the smugness they feel at being so clever, has been a planned-for response from the people setting it all up.
