Opinion Once again, the media fails to press Republicans on Trump's vile rhetoric

4. I believe the corporate media is so conglomerated, it simply doesn't take

many people to own it.

There are only five or six corporate media conglomerates that own 90%+ of everything the American People see on television, hear on the radio or read in publications.

Combine that with the ethos of their corporate conglomerate business model structure and they become authoritarian by nature, there is nothing small d democratic about corporations, so it has all become top down focus disconnecting too many of them from the vast majority of the American Peoples' reality.

To paraphrase Amy Goodman from this speech, 'the corporate media is not so much about telling as selling' and I would add, they want to keep selling.

From October of 2017

I believe It all boils down to this, we got January 6th because the corporate media didn't want the United States government to be progressive in the sense of living up to the preamble to the U.S. Constitution because "to actually promote the general welfare" might pinch some of their specific wealth.

No, it's much easier for them to if not promote then meekly acquiesce to the corporate centric Republican view, that the Constitution is a fossil of democracy and that each "self-evident" bit of truth and freedom has to be individually added to the skeleton.

I prefer the Democratic view that the Constitution is living, breathing, evolving as is American society and overall humanity.
