Create a fictional world and a political incident, then write two versions of the incident; one as reported by a government-controlled agency and another by a rebel news network.

Delve into how the truth is manipulated for political gain and public control. How differently are these versions reported? What is omitted or exaggerated in each version? The government’s curtailing of information can vastly impact public perception— this prompt should shed light on this nuanced facet of political fiction.
