The biggest problem with media, particularly here in the US, is that it's driven by advertising revenue and desire to always increase circulation True, but determinism of freedom (sort of -g) dictates that this is how it must be. Otherwise, who is going to pay for the media? A special "Media tax"? Moreover, can you make it verbotten for mainstream media to accept payments for promotion? If you will, you'll basically push advertisers towards sponsoring a "parallell" media, where ads would be allowed - and history would repeat itself... Like with everything in a free society, there is a price to pay - and one is guaranteed to get some bad along with the good. Beats getting government controlled one party BS.
