Media manipulation refers to the deliberate use of false, misleading, or distorted information through media channels to shape public perception, discredit individuals, or control narratives for strategic advantage.
In the Psycheverse
Psyche frames media manipulation as a systemic tool of psychological warfare—a "psychic war" waged through social media algorithms that deliberately amplify division and pit communities against each other. The show addresses smear campaigns and defamation as lived experience rather than abstract concept, with Psyche responding to criticism and rumors through artistic performance as both testimony and reclamation of narrative control.
