The problem is that the mainstream media are, for the most part, rationalizing an economic order that keeps poor countries poor. It's hard to deny that policies imposed by the IMF on third world countries play a role in ruining their agriculture and harming industrial development, to the benefit of the EU bloc and other rich countries. Why shouldn't I blame journalists for not informing the public about the actual reasons why millions of people are kept in poverty? These issues never make the mainstream media headlines, so there's nothing absurd about the claim that people are systematically mislead. Also, just because an argument is made by people from the far left or far right doesn't mean that it's wrong. Guilt by association is a cheap rhetorical device.
