Seriously, though, I've seen some of these players collapse, it doesn't look like acting to my eyes. To be fair, most of them are glorified actors, so who really knows. But it's a lot now.
As far as the media, I don't see things as black and white as you, comms and counter comms are sent often, so 'believable' doesn't really apply as binarily as you imply.
