Institutions that were established during the 1930's that were meant to protect our society have been repealed, gutted, or simply ignored.
There was a REASON that among the institutions that President Roosevelt regulated were BANKING , Investment houses , Industry as well as the MEDIA (TV,Radio and Newspapers).
Media deregulation, removing the station ownership limits, the demise of the fairness doctrine and newspaper-TV crossownership have caused nothing but an escalation of the media consolidation of our country to the point of today, where five or six huge corporations control everything we read (books, magazines, newspapers), or everything we watch or listen to on Radio, and Television.
Gone is Diversity. Gone are fresh ideas. Gone is the ability to have valid views or independent reporting.
