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.

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

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?

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.

I respect, appreciate & acknowledge that you did respond to my comment.
