Haven’t read much from Whitehead for a few years, but in regards to the article, I agree with him and President Trump that the *investors and sponsors* behind the big media companies have too much control over too many morons satisfied with being controlled.
But not for the reasons stated.
Rather because the voters are totally uneducated in history, the value of the Constitution, street economics (in contrast to the economics taught by ivory tower college professors) and totally lacking morality and self motivation.
For they are the people who put idiots and scoundrels in congress to run the country.
Human nature what it is, we have always had scoundrels, con men and just plain crooks but our generation has actually put them in total control.
Now we have a president who is trying to get control back into the hands of decent knowledgeable people and the criminals are fighting back.
