{"id":"BIH-031","notes":"ANALYTICALLY DISTINCT TACTIC: Selective quotation differs from fabrication — uses authentic words, removes context, creates false alignment. Deniable but documented as deliberate three-year pattern by Gerila analysis. Victim instrumentalization: grieving father's words weaponized against the CSOs that defended him. Shows how state media functions as narrative laundering infrastructure — not by inventing claims but by curating which truths are amplified. Complements Karganović/FSK written infrastructure (BIH-028) with broadcast media dimension.","country":"Bosnia and Herzegovina (Republika Srpska)","sources":[{"url":null,"citation":"Gerila.info December 26 2021; Srđan Puhalo/HBS October 2018; RSE January 2019"}],"summary":"RTRS selectively quotes Davor Dragičević at December 2021 Trg Krajine gathering — broadcasting only his criticism of BiH institutions, opposition politicians, and NGOs; completely omitting his accusations against Dodik, Minister of Interior Lukač, RS police, and Aleksandar Vučić. Creates false impression that grieving father sides with RTRS anti-CSO narrative. Gerila.info analysis documents this as consistent RTRS pattern since first protests in 2018: systematically amplifying anti-CSO and anti-opposition quotes while suppressing all accountability-directed statements. Tactic: weaponizing a victim's authentic words through selective editing rather than fabrication — achieves delegitimization while maintaining plausible deniability ('we quoted him directly'). RTRS had simultaneously been 'aggregator and initiator' of false labeling of Pravda za Davida supporters as foreign agents since 2018.","tactics":[{"code":"TC-15","role":"primary","label":"Pseudo-documentary / Propaganda Film","needs_review":false}],"version":1,"channels":["State TV (RTRS)"],"entities":[{"id":745,"name":"RTRS","role":"actor","entity_type":"State Media"},{"id":746,"name":"NGO sector; opposition politicians","role":"target","entity_type":"Sector"}],"date_text":"Dec 2021","created_at":"2026-09-24T17:50:55.358311+00:00","escalation":2,"harm_track":"Track 2 — Social Trust Erosion","narratives":[{"code":"NF-09","role":"primary","label":"Political Interference","needs_review":false},{"code":"NF-01","role":"secondary","label":"Foreign Agent / Foreign Influence","needs_review":false}],"report_ids":[],"signal_ids":["SIG-BIH-031"],"updated_at":"2026-09-24T17:50:55.358311+00:00","occurred_on":"2021-12-01","campaign_ids":["BIH-CAMP-003"],"enabler_type":"Media Infrastructure","response_ids":[],"trigger_type":"TR-02: Civic Mobilization","campaign_phase":"Phase 2: Media Execution","civic_response":"Gerila.info publishes detailed analysis exposing selective quotation pattern; documents three-year RTRS practice of suppressing accountability-directed statements.
