I follow closely what is happening in the US from France because even though we have a very different culture I still think US politics is a preview of what's to come here.
Right now I consider we are at the step where our media are crumbling and becoming unable to properly inform us. A step that has been reached a couple of years ago in the US in my opinion.
The next step will probably be our own coup attempt in a few years and a steady increase in the division of the country and far right movements.
It doesn't really misrepresent it. It shows you outdated pictures and move them very fast so you have the feeling it's running smoothly.
Which could be acceptable in some solo games.
