I see this propaganda problem thus: People seek out information that reinforces thoughts and opinions already held. > The media happily complies because $$$; TV networks and print become more polarized. > The People stick with their favorite reinforcers, getting limited outside perspective and further entrenching them. > Media uses this power to aid and abet the people and ideas that benefit them financially. > The People vote for pre-approved candidates who work with media to continue the money parade. And so on.
The question is: how to get us out of this vicious cycle? Break up these mega media corporations? Equal air time rules?
