People concerned with the "news" should read this[1]. By a a playwright and poet who's also a journalist[2] that works at RFI. He wrote a satiric novel about an underground race of rats conspiring with world governments to keep people busy consuming "news" in order to exhaust them and prevent disruption through social movements. It's called the "Preventive disorder". Sadly there's no English or French edition. Excerpt: "The deadlock of the global society involves world’s radical restructuring based on the control of information, as well as on a systematic maintenance of a “preventive disorder” – which is actually the title of the manifest-novel, written in a journalistic style, about the mediatic order of today –equivalent, in the vision of the writer-journalist Vişniec, with the instauration of a new religion." 1. https://www.ijcr.eu/articole/116_Pagini%2053-59%20Prus%20IJCR%201-2013.pdf 2. https://www.visniec.com
