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.”
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!”
The oligarchy run media are very much part of the problem so looking to them for solutions is pointless.
I agree. “Q: Into the Storm” is the only thing that addresses part of it (that I’m aware of).
Didn’t South Park do something like this?
Mr Robot kinda fits with China being the big baddie.
The Americans was 5 (I think) glorious seasons of undercover KGB agents in the US.
I think I saw that episode of night court guest starting Yakov Smirnoff
