Journalism vs Capitalism Without Restraints

Robert McChesney and John Nichols, reported in an article for Nation, "Two centuries after Madison wrote those words, American news media are being steered off the cliff by investors and corporate managers who soured on their "properties" when the economic downturn dried up what was left of their advertising bonanza. They are taking journalism with them. Newsrooms are shrinking and disappearing altogether, along with statehouse, Washington and foreign bureaus. And with them goes the circulation of news and ideas that is indispensable to liberty. This is a dire moment for democracy, and it requires a renewal of one of America's oldest understandings: that a free people can govern themselves only if they have access to independent information about the issues of the day and the excesses of the powerful, and that it is the duty of government to guarantee both the promise and the reality of a free press"

Settling for probaganda as news is sickening, and sitting at work I cant even get to the websites that report the news I want to read. Robert Greenwalds link is blocked--Bill O'Reilly's works just fine. Hmm! Censorship I think so. And, Im angry. Something has got to be done about this. The Fairness Doctrine is gone and Corporate America gets to pick and choose what their employees can access online. Wow! And this isnt fascism? Then what is it, because it isnt democracy.
