The media war has always been with us. In the UK we all see at school the cartoon of Napoleon in George 3rd’s hand which has given rise to 200 years of Napoleon being small. Or of Hitler being a vegetarian despite his own cook saying he was a finick but never refused the meat he cooked for him. The endless ‘first impressions travel through the public mind and stay there no matter what later facts reveal. And in any war the story woven at the start of a report is always the one people align with and it takes a rare ( as we see) and clear mind to refute the first and go with the accurate.
