An anthropological dilemma repeated here at DU:

[ithinkmyliverhurts]

8. Look, I agree about the media.

But your underlying principle is that people are good and that misinformation makes them bad--if I understand you correctly. So you accept the underlying principle regarding the difference between Conservatives and Progressives. Your argument is that if people we're properly educated/informed, they'd follow what was right/in their best interest (this is the consequentialist/deontological issue). If we could get corporations out, then the true truth would get out, and people would "naturally" follow. So you follow the paradigm I laid out above? So what is the solution? To eradicate the misinformation? To ban Fox because it is destructive? Or is there a principle which you hold to here, that you wish to conserve? You wouldn't ban Fox or other Corporate media for what reason? A higher principle? A deontological one?
