Media and Capitalism (Score 1)

The problem with the media is not the media. The problem is capitalism. These companies are going to do whatever it takes to become more profitable. what it means is usually not good for consumers. The fact of the matter is advertisers and marketing people basically brainwash the general populas. What needs to happen is that media companies should be given autonomy from their parent companies. There should be real legal ramifications for parent companies who control what is said in their various information outlets. The other alternative as I see it is to scrap the current form of capitalism as we have it. First order of business is to reinstitute the anti-trust laws the Reagan administration got rid of. Bad things usually happen when a whole bunch of people just want to make more money.
