So then government should make tougher laws surrounding the media. Break up empires such as Murdoch’s. Make it mandatory for media organisations to be co-operatives or some other such structure that disallows ownership by billionaires or corporations who can use them to push their own agenda. I’m not saying these are the solutions, but there are solutions out there to the problems that aren’t just the status quo. We just have to find them and be brave enough to try them. And yes I agree with you that citizens must also take responsibility for continually electing corrupt leaders.
