Given the enormous anomalies in "official" data from "official" sources proving the pandemic has been media-amplified into hysteria while the reality is something quite different, it becomes important to look not only to what is in news stories, but what is not.
There is no real information war per se, but lies and exaggerations, models and estimates and forecasts filling much of media with specific aims, as the sponsors of the various stances show themselves.
The real battle seems to be localism versus globalism, corporatism versus capitalism, and individualism versus the collective. Those who hope to be our masters wish their subjects to see only what is presented. For this, the new accusation of "dis-information" is rising to the level of racism and all the collected "-phobias" which have filled "the news."
