World War 3 question

[Scythe13]

I've been wondering why nothing about the Iran situation has been mentioned on the news. I thought there would be more getting said. Then it raised a question I'm actually unsure about how to answer to myself, especially with the knowledge of current media.

If WWIII broke out, do you think the media would actually tell us?

Previously, there was radio reports, and we all remember watching films/programs where a boss, of neighbour, or the local policeman on a bike would say to a gathered bunch of people...."We are at war...." then everyone knew what was going on.

I couldn't see anyone saying that nowerdays. I don't think my boss would come downstairs and inform us all that we were at war. I couldn't see it being reported on Radio1. The neighbours might come round and tell us. The newspapers wouldn't be important as I don't read newspapers.

I could see WW3 happening, and us not realising until we were bombed.

Nobody said "We are at war with Iraq or Afghanistan." There was never an official statement that I can remember. It just seemed that our troops were there, as if reported being there for 1 weeks before hand.
