With few excep­tions the cor­po­rate main­stream media oper­ate with­in very nar­row para­me­ters. In one cor­ner you have MSNBC’s Rachel Mad­dow and in the oth­er you have Fox’s Sean Han­ni­ty. And they do present con­trast­ing views but the bound­aries of dis­cus­sion are lim­it­ed. Cer­tain top­ics are taboo, such as U.S. impe­ri­al­ism or real­ly exist­ing cap­i­tal­ism, not the won­ders of the free mar­ket pro­pa­gan­da we’re bom­bard­ed with. Deep insti­tu­tion­al struc­tures are nev­er the focus of atten­tion. Here and there peo­ple make mis­takes and are called out. And tac­tics and poli­cies are crit­i­cized but the over­all frame­work of pow­er remains intact and unchal­lenged. The cor­po­rate main­stream media ful­fills its role as a cov­er for a sys­tem that is clear­ly fail­ing for the many but ben­e­fits the few. But there are alter­na­tives to the BS.
