Why can't some wealthy Republicans get together and start up a few new media outlets? Open up some more 'fair & balanced' universities?
I think the problem with this is that once people get wealth, they like to start socializing with all the "right" sort of people. It is the "upper crust" that seems to be the root of our idiocy nowadays.
In the Book "Leftism Revisited" the Author asserts that every socialist movement in History was created, nurtured and financed by the wives and children of wealthy men.
Marx and Engles were both born with silver spoons in their mouths.
No, the problem is that extreme wealth and extreme poverty tend towards socialism. We should be thankful for the few exceptions, such as the Koch Brothers et al.
I think the first thing we should do about the media is to constantly denounce them as biased, and try to avoid products that finance them. Beyond that, people are making efforts to boost alternative media. (Glen Reynolds, Glen Beck) If we can expand the source of news material and entertainment, then eventually the competition will bring them down. Alternative Media is already hurting the newspaper industry, perhaps when it eventually kills Newspapers, next in line will be the New York/ Los Angeles networks\entertainment centers.
