The media not covering an issue, or only touching on it and then ignoring it, is absolutely a method to control the knowledge and opinion of the population. It's soft propaganda.

I think that as fewer people get their information from mainstream media and more go to social media what we will see is flooding the social media zone with troll-info and bot-info, as well as simple distraction.
