In the current political climate, in which Richard Nixon, and Barry Goldwater would be considered far to the left of center, all media (internet, radio, print and televised) are owned and operated by multibillionares who can label moderate conservatism as radical liberalism, and old pseudo-scientific arguments espousing the genetic inferiority of blacks and poor people are once again gaining credence. What forces, if any are likely to rebalance the equation and restore some compassion and reason to public dialogue?
