- Once NEWS became beholden to Advertizement TRUTH went out the window.
- Don't expect the Internet to solve that problem.
- Expect the Internet to accelerate the problem.
- Rumor mills accelerate in the age of twits & tweets.
- Governments are already good at it & very well practiced.
- Need look no further than politicians campaigning.
- A crisis is a horrible thing to waste.
- A crisis is a wonderful thing to exploit.

yep media sucks
.... so make it better
. for example, if more people practice extreme honesty in listening and writing, then i expect our media would start to change in that direction. No?


Nope - reread my first bullet.

well getting money out of news and money out of politics is a great and grand idea
.
so is practicing extreme honesty and the golden rule
.
strange, thought, i did get a flash here ... how to distinguish where money should be used and where not? both news and politics are parts of the meta-world, projected outside of our individual beings. perhaps money should not be allowed to be used there. whereas money used to trade material goods and processes ... well that is a must needs convenience in our modern world. No?

- same Rx as the Golden Rule & Rodney King's "can't we all just get along?"
- better Rx is remove advertizing from news & money from politics
- Rx incomplete without all the rest of the threefolding scenario

I suspect it is not the money that is the problem it is the corrupting influence of turning the news & politicians into a commodities that is the problem. I suspect the notions of:

- spontaneous organizations
- free markets to maximize distribution of goods & services consistent with:
- the principles of thriving health & individual dignity in vocation
- threefoldness
is a much better start than governments "not allowing" shit.
Again I respect, appreciate & acknowledge your comments above & have differing mileage.

i don't understand the "nope" part. Your first bullet is true ... "Once NEWS became beholden to Advertizement TRUTH did go out the window" ... or said differently, "our media sucks". i am not at all sorry that i stopped there at that realization. that was truly my response.
