What media does in many cases, in many countries, is they paint their own narrative. They distort it. Yeah. I'm actually listening to this podcast where it talks about Napoleon the Conqueror, right? And his whole thing is you have to control the message, you have to control the narrative, you have to overcommunicate. And like, he did get to the point where he was like censoring like the books that were released, right? Because he was controlling information flow. I looked at the history of Nazi Germany, same thing too. It's like they controlled the narrative. It's the same thing for every single country. Like, we have our own propaganda too.
