 Civil War was a fun movie but the psyop is that war journalism is documentary instead of propaganda 
 I havent seen it yet, but I was wondering about the point 
 There’s also a reinforcement of the fear of violence committed by your fellow citizens as well as one particular anti-xenophobia moment

But the main thrust is the idea of Reuters employees being principled journalists who run into harms way simply to document the ugly truth (lol) 
 The action was surprisingly good. 
 The total lack of drones ruins the plausibility but it was fun to watch
