I fully agree about starting with the media first. During W.W.II there were German spies lurking around our waterfronts collecting info about our War ships such as, how big, how many and what time they left port. These spies would scurry back to their radio layer in the basement of a neighborhood operative business or home, and relay that information back to Berlin. But today we have CNN to do all the work for the enemy.
