Does mass market media like CBS, NBC, ABC, or even our local news channels and papers owe the public something?
For the most part, these networks broadcast free entertainment twenty-four hours a day. They make up their money their money in advertising revenue, but still require operating budgets in the low billions every year. As we don't pay a dime, and aren't required to watch, do these networks owe the lower and middle classes something?
Do you think they inaccurately portray the real issues within America so as not to threaten the status quo?
What do you think?
