The assessment comes months after the State Department signaled that it was planning to energize its social media campaign against the militant group. It concludes, however, that the Islamic State's violent narrative -- promulgated through thousands of messages each day -- has effectively "trumped" the efforts of some of the world's richest and most technologically advanced nations.
