valuable, truthful messages that Reich provides given the fractured nature of media, the lack of time, and ignorance esp. of the new "online media' and all that it offers.

Many folks still resort to following traditional media, newspaper and TV broadcasts, even some that are well educated.

They think of the internet as an instrument for social contact, entertainment and not as a primary news source- at least plenty that I know. And it's a shame, but the way it is.
