It could be a conspiracy. Or it could be too many column inches to fill and not enough time to fill them with something insightful. Yeah, probably conspiracy.

Yeah, probably conspiracy.
- crdoconnor 9y agoI'd call it a group of individuals acting out of rational self interest. The notion that there's an agenda behind any media beyond selling eyeballs is, of course, a harebrained conspiracy theory.
- lucozade 9y agoOf course they have an agenda. If you were to suggest that there is an agenda amongst the moneyed classes to keep corporate tax take low and restrictive regulation low then I would most heartily agree. There is overwhelming evidence that that is the case. That there is a high level conspiracy to pit parent against child so everyone's too busy infighting? Extraordinary claims etc.
- crdoconnor 9y ago"The can kicks back" is a good example of one of the more blatant attempts at this.
- AlexandrB 9y ago> Yeah, probably conspiracy. There doesn't need to be a conspiracy for GP to be basically correct. If you're a true believer in the free market, the market can never fail, it can only be failed. Bad economy? It's the millennials. Not enough jobs? It's the foreign imports. Stagnant real wages? Blame illegal immigration. Daring to question the efficiency of nearly unregulated capitalism is basically taboo in America.
