How a 90s Satire Became Our Political Reality

In 1997, "Wag the Dog" showed us exactly how governments manufacture crises to control narratives. Thirty years later, we're watching the playbook unfold in real time.

This dark comedy starring Robert De Niro and Dustin Hoffman wasn't just entertainment—it was a warning. When a president faces scandal, his spin doctor creates a fake war to distract the public. Can we imagine that...?

We break down the film's key scenes and connect them to modern examples where government manipulation of narratives isn't satire anymore, it's reality.
