If you just remove big money from politics that is not going to keep the
major news media from being owned by big corporations. You just might
have to settle for changing the economic system.

The solution is to change our economic and social system. There are many
different opinions about how this can be done. Possibly, the one that would
seem most acceptable to you would be to put regulations in place that would,
to begin with, remove money from politics. And there are a lot of people
suggesting how this might be done. The problem is that the power of wealth
is supported by the military power of governments, especially hours. We have
a partnership between the pentagon and the big military contractors and the
congresspeople whom the military contractors own. And now our local police
forces are being drawn into the mix because they are being given military
equipment and many are being sent to Israel to be trained by the Israeli
army. So under the circumstances, it's very difficult to maintain even the
semblance of a people's democracy.

If the bias of the press is occasioned by the money of big business - what
is the solution?

everyone makes compromises in order to have their work published or

the game like Julian Assange, you end up imprisoned in a room
somewhere, knowing that if you set foot out of that room, you'll be
rendered to some prison someplace on behalf of the US.

Very interesting. Why is it that 'the press' is so biased?
