Lol, those guys must have been paid by the word.

But, their examples are helpful.

The article does highlight the dangers of social media and a compliant mass media...a propagandist’s wet dream.

They did not mention the problem of omission...that is, the burying of stories of corruption by mass media and social media due to bias. The power to delete such stories are truly wet dreams for propagandists.

If you wrote a script on how to control a nation you might just start with availability cascades...or repeating erroneous information on blast !
