The scale-up in propagation. We didn't have such an efficient propagation mechanism as WhatsApp and Facebook and Twitter. The scale-up in believability. Moving images are that much more convincing than static images. Entertainment outlets, esp. Fox news and far right news, launder edited images and clips from social media. There isn't a Walter-Crokite or the old CBS 60 minutes to fall back on. Back then, we didn't have the likes of Trump, Putin, Bolsonaro, Modi, Duterte armed with these mass-media tools. There's every reason to be afraid.
