Unfortunately analogies to The Matrix abound in the US these days. Most people get their information from 6 mainstream media corporations that were left(down from 50) after the 1996 Telecommunications Act eliminated restrictions on monopolies in media. That's 6 billionaires determining what everyone gets as news. So yeah, welcome to the matrix: red pill or blue?
