In most American cities, the largest local newsroom still belongs to the local newspaper.

Trolling, memes, and deepfakes: How AI is thickening the fog of war

(date: 2026-05-11, updated: 2026-05-26)

War has never been fought only on the ground. Clausewitz’s concept of the “fog of war” once described the uncertainty and confusion that cloud battlefield decision-making. Errol Morris’ 2003 documentary made the phrase a shorthand for the moral and informational ambiguities of modern conflict. But in the digital age, where war is also filmed, edited and promoted...
