a fi victima manipularii/dezinformarii mediatice
to be the victim of misleading methods used by the media
"The Mighty Wurlitzer takes its name from the theater organs of the 1920s that told people how to feel about the movie on the screen. Nowadays, it stands for a many-headed disinformation network starting with purveyors of Internet gossip and right-wing talk-radio jocks and partisan outlets like FOX, and expanding to include “legitimate” news outlets like CBS and the Washington Post. The Mighty Wurlitzer has so many pipes and ranks that it sometimes seems the truth has no chance against it."
