Brancaccio asks McChesney about the root problem with media in America.
"People understand their media system isn't natural. It's not a free
market system," he says. "It's a result of policies often times made
corruptly behind closed doors in Washington. And, once people realized
that…they didn't have to accept commercial carpet bombing of their
children." |
