#writingWonders does the media or public opinion play a role in your story?

Judging by others' answers i read this question wrong: meant as an internal aspect of the story rather than a current external influence on me as a writer.

So, no :(

But, yes ;)

Today's news and opinions shape the antagonist's populist-baiting climb to power, and the disregard for the consequences of their own, and their enablers', callous ambition on the lives of ordinary people.

All of it background, hinted at.
