The media monopolies are not only pushing high-quality independent art out of the pages of America's newspapers and magazines, they are also ignoring important world news. Millions of people are dying in civil warfare in Africa, but the mainstream media couldn't care less, nor could the government elite. But when white people were dying in civil warfare in Bosnia, it was an important global issue for President Clinton and the media, even though the leaders of both sides were totalitarian, right-wing, anti-Semites [3]. Similarly, the mainstream media made Ralph Nader, who successfully fought major companies like General Motors as a consumer advocate, look like a buffoon during his 2000 Presidential campaign because he wouldn't suck the media bigwigs' collective dick like his opponents did. If Nader had won just 5% of the vote, the Green Party would have received federal funding and maybe it could make a dent in our joke of a two-party system. Interestingly, on my recent trip to the former USSR, I noticed that Russia was actually moving away from the elitism and state monopoly of the Communist regime, with several independent television stations and newspapers springing up all over the country. Meanwhile, America is starting to resemble the propaganda machine that we scoffed at during the Cold War, but instead of Communism, we're promoting shit entertainment and elitist, backward-thinking political agendas.
