What Mainstream Coverage Missed
Angles present in the cross-border material that the dominant coverage buried or skipped.
- The extent to which Musk's promotion of Citizen Vigilante was driven by a desire for publicity or genuine support for the film.

This phenomenon exposes the incentives behind mainstream coverage, where sensationalism trumps nuanced analysis. The silence on Musk's motivations is consistent with the framing machinery that benefits from controversy over substance.
