* In ''VideoGame/StarCraftII'', Donny Vermillion likes to fancy himself as the face of Emperor Mengsk's unstoppable PropagandaMachine. In truth, he's laughably incompetent at his job; the fact that his star reporter either isn't in on the plan or actually ''likes'' Raynor doesn't help. Supposedly, the media is a major weapon for Mengsk, so it's possible Raynor only watches Donny's show because the others are actually good at it. [[spoiler:Any efficacy he had in the role is shot in the wake of Media Blitz, where he learns that Mengsk used the zerg to destroy Tarsonis and Donny's brother was among the casualties; he's written out of the plot by the end of ''Wings of Libery'' either way.]]
