Agreed about media control as a factor for being able to exploit an advantage but I don’t see how that eliminates the universal existence of opportunity within a crisis or danger. I know that sounds like just semantics but I really intend no disrespect for your point of view as I quite often agree with your posted articles and forum posts. Innovation will be required for success. Exhibit A for how NOT to do it was the NRA last Friday and the Meet the Press follow-up on Sunday.
I should have been more clear. In a generic sense, you are correct. I was trying to say that the ability to use a crisis to enact political legislation that could not otherwise be passed, depends in large part on the ability to control the narrative in the media, and that the ability to do so has been quite one sided for several decades.
