This Is Extremely Dangerous to Our Democracy

Most news stations just carbon copy Reuters. There is also a terrifying conglomeration between media corporations which is not a conspiracy theory but a natural result of capitalist competition.

And again, how fucking obvious does it have to be? We see symptoms and outwards reflections of the underlying trend pretty much every day, but people never jump to the conclusion that maybe capitalism is bad.

Not at all. I used to work for a local news station much like these, and our non-local stories were all delivered to us by the parent company.

This is why no matter where you are in the US, you can find the exact same non-essential fluff pieces. For instance I wrote up a piece about a pig harassing beachgoers in Poland youtube.com/watch?v=rusvKJ2mVoM, with clips form this youtube vid, and I guarantee you dozens of other stations were asked to run the same story.

capitalism has become so entrenched that even if tomorrow top 10 Fortune 500 CEOs went on the TV and said "lmao suck our dicks sheeple you work and we eat" no one would question the system, at best some people would say it's not real capitalism and the jews are to blame

there's no escape. join the Camatte gang.

"Our" "Democracy"

Ain't tinfoil if it's real.

Because it's an ideological impossibility for liberals and conservatives to hold capitalism accountable for any sort of failing.

The dems see this story and pin it on Trump and evil white men trying to stifle the gloriously free and open press of the U.S.

The republicans see this story and think that George Soros and the Jews are pulling false flags to convince people that Trump is rigging the gloriously free and open press of the U.S.

Any sort of structural analysis that would point out that wealthy people who own broadcasting companies are naturally going to use the media to protect their interests is written off as conspiratorial madness by both the liberals and conservatives.

It's no surprise that they'll eat up MSNBC or Fox News respectively because both stations atomize and isolate issues to pander to their audiences. Capitalist media is not capable of framing things in the context of society and social relations, only as singular issues that must be addressed by individuals and ethical corporate intervention.
