(58,355 posts)Mega corporate conglomerates own the news, and they own the Republican Party, while they dominate the Democratic Party.
I said the corporate media's prime directive is to sell commercials, mega corporations and plutocrats are the corporate media's primary commercial buying clients, the people are just customers and there is a major difference in fiduciary responsibility between those two words.
The sense of a public good is given short shrift, this handicaps the Democratic Party since their natural role by tradition is being the "Party of the People."
The belief that privatizing everything under the sun trumping the greater or public good naturally benefits the commercial buying mega-corporations and plutocrats the most, by extension the commercial selling corporate media and the monopoly loving Republican Party as well.
I'm convinced corporate media coverage whether editorial and/or "news" is the primary reason that both parties have been pulled dangerously to the right in order to please or satisfy the 1%.
