Mockingbird

MEDIA CHOIR · CIA SHELF CORE

SAME HEADLINE · MANY BEAKS · WHO WROTE THE TUNE?

Operation Mockingbird rhyme. Mice score who repeats the sheet music. Memes = faster mockingbirds. Amplification is not authorship.

COMMS · MAD SCIENTIST
Seed one moral frame. Time the outrage sync. Ask for the named source.
ARTHUR
Everyone’s angry about the same thing and nobody can tell me who started it.
COMMS · CLIPBOARD-CHAN
Efficient for someone. Authorship question filed. Sports + pint = control.
