Whats missing? The other leg of the stool here is the media. When Bill Clinton allowed extreme consolidation and deregulation, it gave us the current Orwellian state of broadcasting in the private interest instead of the PUBLIC interest.

Whether it’s Fox, CNN or MSNBC, any one of these broadcasts would fail a simple Journalism 101 course with obvious bias fueled by payola, making the corporate media the biggest beneficiary of the Citizen United spending.

When you look into our post WWII laws passed to prevent domestic propaganda, you’ll find that enforcement of the Communications Act that created the FCC is being totally ignored. This includes equal time provisions during election periods, electioneering and editorializing on air counting as in-kind contributions, and quashing FCC relicensing complaints for worst-offender stations who meet every definition of propaganda.
