Whose truth will they tell?

Of course it is true that capital is owned by capitalists, so that the owners of newspapers are capitalists. But it does not follow that they tell other capitalists' truth otherwise than in advertising.

In my observation they are much more likely to do hit pieces on other businesses upon which we all depend--because that forces us to pay attention to them.

But it does follow that they will not tell harsh truth's about capitalism itself.
