US people kind of don't really know what's going on across the world while the media obsesses over celebrity news, and domestic news, Ted Rall, award-winning editorial cartoonist and columnist and author of the graphic novel, "The Stringer," explained in relation to the US disinformation campaigns on social media.

The media obsesses over celebrity news, domestic news. And when it turns its eyes overseas, it's for contentless pablum."
