It's not that "new". It is centuries old.
Things that were not seen before are now visible as a result of the printing press, and technology. A lot more evil is exposed, but evil is not new. It was here before mankind.
With war this time, the technology of rapid information can cause collateral damage if military details are exposed too soon. When POTUS drops "The Light" onto the masses in about a week, one of the joys will be the minimal harm to the innocents close at hand to the action. This war is not for your and my entertainment. It's much bigger and more noble than that.
