What about famous people? Beautiful people? Charismatic people? People with the right family name? Bush, Clinton, Kennedy?
What about the power newspapers have over shaping the national dialogue? what about tv stations? What about unions? What about film makers, authors?
How do we limit their power? or is it only money that we're concerned about?
- cycomanic 6y agoActually your example of newspaper and TV stations exactly examplifies why billionaires have such a vast political power which is unhealthy for society. No single TV station, newspaper by itself would ever yield so much power as to be able to shape public opinion in one direction. However take the media empire of the Murdochs which yields a disproportionate amount of power in several countries, very directly pushing the ideology of it's owners.
- dantheman 6y agoI'd say the New York Times is far more influential than murdoch's tabloids and fox. But that's just my opinion.
