Never has the political class or the mainstream media that covers them been more out of touch with the American people than they are today.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Without the media, the American people won't have the type of information they need to hold their leaders to account. The relationship between government and media has always been strained, and I think most of the time that's a healthy strain.
I take much of the attacks and the criticism toward me as being very class-based, but as Americans we don't like to acknowledge that reality.
Unfortunately, the media, which are not at all reluctant to act in their own self-interest, have succeeded in equating reform in the public mind with further restrictions on just about everyone else's freedom of political speech.
American media has just become talk radio, incredibly partisan name-calling and op-eds.
The media is really failing the American people.
Most people see through these issues but the corporate media doesn't reflect these sentiments.
I think people are rapidly losing confidence in the political class, and I don't blame them.
From the subtle to the extreme, our culture and our values are under unrelenting attack from the media.
With the exception of the New York Times, Fox news, and Lou Dobbs of CNN, and talk radio, the rest of the mainstream media has basically been silenced like a bunch of dumb monkeys.
But, we didn't have all the media that we do today.
