Having said that, it is about keeping the general public on your side so you have a consistent backing even on the foreground of international politics. Given the expansion of the internet, governments may be able to find support in their opponent's homebase, and opposition in their borders. Then it is all about "media management".

It is good to be a journalist today.
Hmm, that means if someone wants to apply for a job at foxnews, they should mention being a Republican in their resume. Oh wait, they need to be more "subtle" and complain about how cnn is too liberally biased instead without openly stating being a Republican.
