There are degrees. I despised FoxNews in the GB2 years. The fake WMD Iraq War.

But controlled opposition, that's how it works. They blew their wad and cover though - mean the CCP is desperate, all assets deployed.

it's a real old term - tactical and psyop related.

Simply put: It means you set up or manipulate premade or already existing factions into certain stances.

Generally this can be done in various ways: ownership, bribery, insiders etc.

Project Mockingbird is a variation of the theme.

But basically you play one faction off the other and people flock to one side or the other...in reality you control to a certain extent BOTH sides.

FoxNews flipped essentially - but also blew their cover - which is curious - seems like desperation.
