What does this mean? "NGO" covers absolutely every organization that isn't the government. Churches and bowling clubs count as NGOs as well as political organizations and labour unions. The only places without NGOs are totalitarian, because you can't do liberal democratic politics without NGOs.

> You can only have a democracy that is informed. NGO's break this fundamental principle.

Maybe you meant to write "for profit media" or "Fox News" or something there instead?

It isn't really a problem with profit. More like a problem of the commons. The Molochization of creating an informed society.
