Havvey Wasserman delivers with his
There’s Nothing Mainstream About the Corporate Media which I located on Common Dreams. He begins with
As we stumble toward another presidential election, it’s never been more clear that our political process is being warped by a corporate stranglehold on the free flow of information. Amidst a virtual blackout of coverage of a horrific war, a global ecological crisis and an advancing economic collapse, what passes for the mass media is itself in collapse. What’s left of our democracy teeters on the brink.
And he ends with
The word “mainstream” has nothing to do with the massively monopolized machine that has a chokehold on our democracy. It’s the “Corporate Media,” and there’s nothing mainstream about it.
There's plenty in the middle of his writing worth reading.
Free Press, where Harvey often toils, is likewise worthy of regular visits. John Gunn
