There are so many fascist, socialist, and communist ideas floating around, with rich man’s capitalism having taken over the world, perhaps it’s not such a bad idea to use the worst case scenario and march into the mass media’s offices and shut them all down.
Interesting points. I agree that mainstream media is worthless. I haven't trusted any of those outlets for years. I think there are enough alternative, independent information outlets to compensate for saying bye-bye to corporate media. I would be willing to bet, though, that if they were actually to go away, they would be replaced by some Orwellian beast that's even worse than what we have. People have to be smart enough to just ignore the big news outlets and stick with alternate routes for obtaining information. Unfortunately, most people won't do that.
As a child living in NYC in the 50's throughout the late 1980's there were lots of newspapers. They were bought up lock stock and barrel. As technology improved the centralization of information was controlled by a few media outlets that were actually one. A magic trick. Today images on tv might be real or not. The left right paradigm is heavily employed because it works. That's why destroying the monarchy in France was critical. I do not believe this situation can be reversed ever because it's a done deal. If you're not convinced observe the populace masked in their cars and sprinting for their next 'treatment'. Finito!
shut them down. Thank you for a great article.
