Media Wars
UK Army is setting up a new unit that will use psychological operations and social media to help fight wars "in the information age" BBC, 31.1.15

Around 20.3. 15, Europeans Agree to counter Russian Propaganda.... "The US government has taken similar steps to increase broadcasting". "Last October, Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty, in collaboration with Voice of America, launched a news program “Current Time” aimed at countries bordering Russia" (with some paid social media  positions advertised -how is this different from trolling? ...). "The success of the West in the Cold War with truthful news and information to audiences behind the Iron Curtain shows the way forward"--that one, going to be a tough sell, -people once got excited about that sort of 'truthful news and information', and saw the huge collapse, and all that self-serving profit-taking opportunism that came on the heels of it...That was about a weapon, not about the truth... --Resup (talk) 23:14, 7 April 2015 (UTC)
