I think I could argue that the press has more impact on politics than corporations.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The mainstream press and television do a very soft job of covering the press, either as corporate entities or as news organizations.
Except for politics, no business is scrutinized more exhaustively than journalism.
Most people see through these issues but the corporate media doesn't reflect these sentiments.
The press doesn't just cover presidential campaigns, they influence them by making arbitrary decisions about who is 'top tier' and merits coverage.
The crush of lobbyists on Washington and purchase of the media by corporations has created a big business-run government and a worthless press leaving Americans screwed and ill-informed.
Perhaps the biggest problem in journalism is the cult divide between journalists and corporate owners.
There are ways that we can manipulate the corporate media to talk about the issues that we care about.
A large majority of Americans believe that corporations exert too much influence on our daily lives and our political process.
I wouldn't agree with some of the things that the press writes about and that's all I have to say about that.
I absolutely reject that idea that the press is liberal and what it does is liberal. In my view, it's like accusing a doctor of malpractice or a lawyer of malfeasance.
