Well this is all just my opinion but I think you're very close to the answer there. If two sides both hate you and they start fighting each other, you want that fight to drag on for as long as possible. So you help the weakest group - not enough to make them win - just enough to keep it even. If they fight each other for long enough, maybe they'll even start to hate each other more than they hate you.

The same applies to the west. As long as the media can keep two sides fighting against each other, the establishment can do whatever they want.
