In Sweden a TV news station exposed a troll farm run by the far right party. I’d say that counts.
In Norway, NRK started a misinformation campaign in a local school to influence the school election to show how easy it was.
It was not well received
Honestly, that sounds exactly like what the CIA will produce when they need people to support censorship or just discourage people from listening to counter-narratives, the same way they supported the production of Zero Dark Thirty and Homeland when they wanted to support torture and unaccountability.
Don’t forget 24. Multiple TV seasons of, “torture is necessary when you’re desperate.”
Mr Robot kinda fits with China being the big baddie.
A drama like right now about Russians trying to influence world politics? And US elections? I’m not sure if it would be brilliant and we’d be all over it or if we’re so sick of hearing about it that we wouldn’t watch it
I was thinking Chris Hansen style reverse cat fishing.
Edit: “UwU I’m 35 y/o incel. Won’t someone come to my chat room and propagandize me UwU.”
No pun intended, catfishing had had a hook. You had someone that had wrapped up their lives and or a serious amount of money into someone there was an emotional angle. Most of the trolls don’t really have any belief in what they’re saying and it most their drawing people out to fight with them. Definitely a shower thought.
How about a Silicon Valley-like comedy except at a Russian troll farm.
“Fuck you, Guilfoylevich!”
A drama with the Russians would probably only last a week, maybe a month?. Add in China, Iran, and most importantly the US, and you would’ve got few season to watch.
I’m not sure if it would be brilliant and we’d be all over it or if we’re so sick of hearing about it that we wouldn’t watch it
Too bad, but the rest of the world would love to see it.
Not right now, but a couple of years ago.
In 20 years, Trump the movie.
The oligarchy run media are very much part of the problem so looking to them for solutions is pointless.
[off topic?]
“Lioness” with Zoe Saldana and Nicole Kidman is a weird combination of spec ops porn and Left politics.
“Lioness” refers to a CIA program to target the wives/sisters/daughters of major terrorists. Kidman runs Saldana who in turn runs the teams on the ground. Their latest target is top financier of terror and his daughter is getting married soon…
In one episode Kidman tells Saldana that the West’s leaders are too stupid and cowardly to get us off the oil habit.
The Americans was 5 (I think) glorious seasons of undercover KGB agents in the US.
That show would be boring.
Well… The boys is actually pretty close. Evil corporation lying to the public and with uncle Sam’s support.
Didn’t South Park do something like this?
I agree. “Q: Into the Storm” is the only thing that addresses part of it (that I’m aware of).
I think I saw that episode of night court guest starting Yakov Smirnoff
