I don't think people will be as easily fooled as they have been in the past, they might have a monopoly on mainstream media but there are plenty of independent sources that are much more easily accessible than they were 20 years ago thanks to technology.

The US was doing a great job capturing and controlling alternative media right up until they cut USAID funding, really shot themselves in the foot there.
