The monopoly of corporate media
generally does not have the public’s best interest at heart. Corporate
media run by huge conglomerates and supported by huge corporate advertisers
view the common person not as a critically thinking citizen, but as
a consumer to be manipulated. This results in a situation where corporate
media is little more than a mouthpiece for advertisers and/or partisan
propaganda.
Independent media outlets like
PBS, Democracy Now, The Nation, and many other internet blogs and sources
provide a very important voice in our national dialogue. This is part
of why net neutrality is a huge cause worth fighting for.
In the last election, independent
media posed an important counterpoint to corporate media on nearly every
issue. Overpowering the corporate media bias and spin on important topics
will remain on the most important political issues facing independent
media in the next decade.
Trying to determine what is going on
in the world by reading newspapers is like trying to tell the time by
watching the second hand of a clock. ~Ben Hecht
“The recipe for perpetual
ignorance is a very simple and effective one: be satisfied with your
opinions and content with your knowledge” Elbert Hubbard
“The media’s the most powerful entity on earth. They have the power
to make the innocent guilty and to make the guilty innocent, and that’s
power. Because they control the minds of the masses.” -Malcolm
X
“Where ignorance is our master, there is no possibility of real
peace.” -Dalai Lama
