Well, then your problem is with media manipulation, not with the reality they pretend to "cover".

" Well, then your problem is with media manipulation, not with the reality they pretend to "cover". "

Yes, That’s a big part of it. But an integral part of my concern is that this call for "civil disobedience" is premature and an overreaction. And that without more information and strategic thinking, it’s likely to spark the kind behavior that the media will jump on and even promote as party extremism.

So most importantly, I want to remind people that it’s the responsibility of "the reality" [those promoting the civil disobedience] to be aware of the likely media outcome rather than acting without regard to them and then blaming them. The media is predictable, we shouldn’t be.
