Venezuela: Tens of thousands march in anti-government protests

61. We could have ownership restrictions over broadcast media

By and large we choose not to break them up or prevent other industrial interests from buying into them.

And when the left contemplates the media problem, it focuses on the "glory days" of the Fairness Doctrine. This to me explains why we get nowhere, because in my mind FD was the vehicle for how we got here. Becoming preoccupied with FD has left us with a media reform concept that is a non-starter and, IMO, would hurt progressives more than help because the right has become expert at fabrication and misdirection.

We should never take our eyes away from the money/ownership issues: They should remain paramount.

Anyway, its clear as of now the 1% have lined up the media against a progressive advance in the midterms. This could make 2000 look like a love fest.
