Make Believe Mailer Vol. 31: Can't Stop Fallin' In Love (With Propaganda)

Tomohiro Osaki has a great story in the Japan Times this week about how Shinzo Abe has approached the mass media during his second go as prime minister. It touches on a lot of (very important) corners of his current run, but I was most fascinated by the sections focused on social media, specifically how Abe used Facebook and other platforms as a way to kick back against the mainstream media...and rile up his supporters in his favor. Osaki brings up Donald Trump...but I just thought about Enon Kawatani.
