Kucinich seems to understand the threats we face from the media better than any candidate in the race. In contrast, his approach is that no private power ought to have control over a public debate. Self-interest is a basic tenet of capitalism. Thus, rather than serve the public interest as it’s supposed to, the corporate media must serve its own self-interest by promoting candidates and ideologies which generate more wealth for itself. This seems to be what Ron Paul doesn’t understand, or refuses to see a problem with, given his dogmatic adherence to free-market fantasies. Check out the video to your right for more.
