Counter Currents, a left-leaning Web site that features essays and reporting about military actions and political goings-in in the world's hot spots, has run a lengthy piece by Mike Whitney in which
he argues that "media has become an adversary of the people it is supposed to serve." At this point in time, he observes, mainstream media is entirely in league with big companies and
self-righteous governments whose interests are at odds with the good of the general populace. He cites a series of examples in which news media folded like the proverbial cheap tent, failing to
serve their obligation to the citizenry. "Freedom is impossible," Whitney writes, "where the information systems are monopolized by private industry.... The corporate model aims at uniformity in
order to limit the range of debate and promote a business-friendly agenda."
