As George Carlin said, they don't need to have a conspiracy to know what's in their best interest.
Always intended, I'm guessing. As soon as Ben Franklin realized the power to sway public opinion he must have known.
He wasn't a stupid person.

I'm in a book club that is reading Brave New World. Several members bristled when I pointed out that sporting events and booze are basically our equivalent of Obstacle Golf and soma.
And the same people that own the media also own and operate the state.
I'm so glad this stuff is starting to finally bubble to the top of the public consciousness.
Now, everybody read Marx.

Hey now. They don't own and operate the state. They simply receive large low-interest loans to trade parcels of real estate that happen to account for the overwhelming bulk of developed property in the country. It's you, the people, who are afforded the opportunity to meet and choose between the California Criminal Prosecutor and the New York Land Baron.
Just look out! One of them is a soulless fascist who will invoke the powers of the state to terrorize migrants, minorities, and labor activists. Meanwhile, the other is a goofy dimwit who will be too hobbled by bureaucracy to effectively delivery any of their campaign promises.

Now, everybody read Marx.
Nice try. But I have it on good authority that learning to read makes you a Communist, so I dodged that bullet early on.

No, its called free and open because you can blog about damned near anything without getting thrown out of a window. Some small time blogs get big views so no, your premise has no merit.
Hard disagree my friend.
A small time blog is hardly journalism. You won't see Joe's blog as a reference for the news at 11.
There's a shitload of blogs out there, and even if they're trying to be the "news", it's 99% opinion based "reporting" on blogs.
It's hard to compare someone's personally owned blog with someone like Fox News, which has publications (websites, and blog-like content) as well as TV channels and webcast videos, both audio and video content available in every location where people consume news.
Unless it's the largest blog to ever exist, it likely won't hold a candle to the media giants that run most news organizations.
I get what you're saying here friend, but no.
