The Western media’s ability to invent reality & talk over millions of people in any country the West wants to destroy is scary. Huge demonstrations that don’t fit the narrative are ignored, while comparatively tiny ones are magnified & handpicked voices portrayed as illustrative.
Even if pro-government demos are reported on, which is rare, they are then delegitimised by framing the participants as “hardcore loyalists” or implying they have been coerced into attending - both techniques implying that such manifestations of support can & should be dismissed.
And of course, these techniques are always accompanied by a campaign that attacks and slanders anyone outside of the country targeted if they offer their support to it and reject the imperialist narrative.
Or blatantly dishonest techniques like this that we have seen over the past few days:

“The press does many things and serves many functions, but its major role, its irreducible responsibility is to continually recreate a view of reality supportive of existing social and economic class power.”
