Random Thoughts On The Media

Some random thoughts on the media that won’t be making it into my book Essays On The Media. Perhaps I shall release a companion piece of random thoughts on the media:

Being liberal has always been the fashionable choice of those in the media, but when push comes to shove, they know who writes their checks.

The more corporations take over our country, the louder will be the voices from the media that free enterprise is under attack from the government.

The media is socially liberal, economically conservative, and always pro-war.

The bias of the media regarding politicians is the same bias it has towards sports teams: they don’t care who wins so much as they keep you watching. They’re not so interested in making the proper calls as they are keeping the game a nail biter.

That which the media tells you is patriotism is not patriotism. It is the shrill, amplified voice of institutionalized greed. It is the insatiable need for greater profit and wealth to the exclusion of any other concern.

The media is unwilling to discuss Donald Trump’s mental illness because it is one they share.

Some people vote for politicians who tell them politicians are the problem, and watch the media that tells them not to trust the media.
