I have a feeling over the next few years there is going to be a lot of cavalier and solo diplomacy going on ("deals")outside of normal diplomatic channels. Think Nixon's China policy...

The press will be kept in the dark, and the politicized press outlets will all have wildly different speculations and interpretations of what is going on. Add to this fake news and downright misdirection and propaganda, and it will be very difficult to figure out just what is happening. Even the honest, "unpolitical" news outlets can no longer be trusted. They are more interested in advertising, not information, and will be full of feelgood stories that attract viewers; stories about the international equivalent of kittens being rescued from trees and inspiring anecdotes about crips and retards and brave maimed vets showing admirable spunk and courage. The internet press services will all start sounding like small town local TV news. Clickbait, lip synching and laugh tracks.

I've got a short wave radio, but more and more all I can find on the ether is "human interest", religious broadcasting and infotainment. Even the BBC is getting very information thin. In the old days, you knew you couldn't believe Radio Moscow, but at least what they weren't talking about gave you a clue as to what was really going on.
