(3,732 posts)As long as there is massive distrust of the corporate owned media, there is going to be a problem getting any good message across, because greedy schmucks will horn in and take advantage of the good message to exploit people and make a buck. Take for example the case of greedy developers who want to build luxury condos: they will convince everyone it's "green" just to change zoning laws and run away counting how much money they've made, leaving everyone who was displaced by their project trying to pick up the pieces.
The problem is that money not only talks, it talks much louder that it used to. Money not only owns material possessions, money owns everything and everyone. So when you utter your fact, people hear brands and messaging and hype and spin.
Sorry for being so cynical, just came from a day where I saw my bought out political representatives literal vote against facts. That's the world we live in now.
