Maybe this is for the OT, maybe not.... I still don't have confidence that I really know what this term actually means. Here's my stab... Gaslighting - Artificially inflating the importance of an issue

In the case of the current corporate news media, gaslighting is their coordinated efforts to mislead and deceive the American people with information that is either blatantly false, information that’s lacking full context, information that’s incomplete and more importantly, information that has a distinct and obvious political bias. This false or questionable information is run on a news cycle loop 24/7 until the people who are receptive to the gaslighting take the download.
