Not being snarky / trolling, serious question: Are there any gov agencies or Big Multination Incs not playing the misinformation and misdirection game? When careers, budgets and contracts are tied to perception - not necessarily truth - who is going to say, "Nah. I don't think we should put our thumb on the scale. I don't think we should call in any favors from media contacts. Etc."? For every narrative, there's someone spinning it, or at the very least someone to benefit from it. The power of "Follow the money" is as strong as ever. Yet, it's a tool that's too rarely used. Rant / Editorial: For example, in the past week or so I've seen national (US) new media using an interview clip of Bezos warning of a possible recession. Well, not only is that a self-fulfilling prophecy, but it's also eventually good for Amazon. An economic down turn hurts Amazon in the short term, but ultimately, it's an opportunity for ecomm consolidation, and eventually more market share. That is, Amazon is well positioned to come out the other side of the recession in an even more dominate position. Yet, I'm not seen a single journalist point that out.
