The Media is the Enemy of the People
One of the basic steps in any battle plan is to gather intel/recon about the size and capability of the enemy's army.
That's what I've attempted here in a very simple way. It's quick and dirty, but probably provides a reasonable approximation of the enemy's forces (which have only had minimal casualties so far). The end goal was to estimate the number of media workers that are involved in delivering bogus news information other propaganda, misinformation, brainwashing operations for the Deep State (writing books, TV shows, text books, scientific studies, movies, etc.).
According to the Dept of Labor Bureau of Labor Statistics, there are 586,000 Media and communication workers in the US. Of these I've identified several categories of workers who are involved in preparing information-related products for dissemination. I've made some adjustments, because not all these media workers are involved in politics or social issues per se. You can use the basic numbers and apply your own assumptions to make your own estimates.
