Where are the substantial discussions about the number one impediment to real political change, money in politics?
Where are the substantial discussions and analysis of the number one impediment to life on earth, climate change?
Where are the substantial discussions on how the health insurance and drug companies continue to hold hostage the health of the American people and why the reform of those industries is so difficult?
The broadcast and cable news networks rake in millions from political advertising on their platforms. They make millions on advertising that stems from the use of fossil fuels. And now their coffers are overflowing with money that comes from drug and Medicare Advantage plan advertising.
Biting the hand that feeds them is not the way these corporations operate. Its not that these topics are ignored completely, its just that theyre relegated to the periphery and never seriously addressed in any fundamental ways that would lead to discussions of how to truly tackle these problems in ways that would lead to any substantial change. The most important topics are not up for honest and thorough discussion and analysis because of their interest in maintaining their profits.
