I don’t see this as reciprocation, I see it as a continuation of an existing policy that requires US media to be owned by Americans. I do agree with you though

I don’t see this as reciprocation, I see it as a continuation of an existing policy that requires US media to be owned by Americans. I do agree with you though that the capitalism=democracy experiment was a pretty obvious failure. You can have pretty free markets with or without democracy. The US emerged from the Cold Wa with ideological battle scars which prevent us from doing what’s best for the people because that might be communism. We are gradually finding out that concentrated corporate power is potentially an even greater threat.
