You touched on an important point: media manipulations have always been around. But it feels worse now because we are being manipulated against our fellow citizens. Traditional manipulations would just be to prop up politicians or corporations or focus on an external enemy. While obviously not good, those don't really lead to the implosion of a country in the same way as our current environment might.
