Technically speaking, isn't Wired "corporate media"?

  Technically yes, and so is Reddit. I need a better word to describe organizations like CNN, MSNBC and Fox that make concerted efforts to divide and distract. Maybe I should have just said "cable news".

  "Corporate media" is a term which refers to a system of mass media production, distribution, ownership, and funding which is dominated by corporations and their CEOs. It is sometimes used as a term of derision to indicate a media system which does not serve the public interest in place of the mainstream media or "MSM," which tends to be used by both the political left and the right as a derisive term. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corporate_media http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corporate_media

    Now explain to me why Wired doesn't fit that definition.

      No contest. I don't read Wired. Too corporate.

        Haha, okay. I misinterpreted the Wikipedia quote as a correction of my original comment. Sorry!
