I agree with Robert McChesney
statements that the mass media has become an anti-Democratic force. I
attribute this change to the conglomerates that own the media companies.
They have used the media to further their own political agendas. Fox
News immediately comes to mind, along with the Rupert Murdoch News of
the World scandal in Britain. They have consistently supported our
nation’s two party system, something the Founding Father’s disagreed
with. The most dastardly deed that the media commits is the over
exaggeration of scandals that cause the public to forget about the real
problems at hand, like the national debt. Media has always been
necessary to Democracy, but it has gotten too large and powerful in this
day and age.
