A less modest but more useful angle might be to free America's media from the control of the elite. More critical analysis would flourish, more Americans could make a critical decision and maybe the planet would be a better place.
We are lucky in the UK as we are all taxed to pay for the BBC. Americans can also watch BBC America if they chose.
- anamax 18y agoThe BBC isn't a media "control[ed] by an elite"?
- hugh 18y agoEven more so than any commercial network. The BBC is a law unto itself, beholden neither to the government of the day nor to the viewers. They produce the programs they feel like producing, and only hire people who think like themselves. Now this has some good points, and the BBC actually winds up producing some very good television, but it's definitely the "elite telling you what to watch" model.
